Even Death is Censored in China

Liu Xiaobo.    Liu Xiaobo death: 'Even RIP is being deleted by censors

That name, Rest In Peace, or an emojis of a candle are censored out in China.  That is how China gets rid of ideas that don't fit its narrative of what is good for its people.  It goes to such great lengths that one wonders how they could have the resources to keep up.  Imagine a billion people using the Internet and somebody trying to screen such small things as RIP.  Impossible you say.  Not if you apply yourself to it and spend the resources required to achieve the objective.  Wipe out the name from public view.  Erase the Internet memory.  Filter it out.

We should remember that Liu's crime was trying to promote a type of democracy for China.  For that, they put him in prison.  For that, they let his cancer end his life.  No wonder they want to erase any memory of him.  See my post.
