Major cities around the country were locked down in huge protests over the weekend surrounding covid restrictions and the repressive Beijing regime.
Why did you not see this? A big reason for Twitter users, at least, was because Chinese-language malicious actors managed to flood the blue bird app with porn links that included the names of the cities involved in the protests.
The massively-reduced Twitter struggled to combat what appeared to be government-affiliated accounts’ efforts to dampen news surrounding the protests, according to a report that cites past and current Twitter employees., Chinese-language accounts started to flood the platform with links to porn services and escorts next to city names. For anybody actively looking for more news about the protests, this would flood their feeds with what amounted to porn ads.
