‘They are deleting our images’: Chinese protesters detail digital censorship, VPN struggles as fight over COVID lockdowns grows
The Daily Dot, December 2, 2022

“‘The Chinese authorities are faced with steep legitimacy and regime stability challenges posed by these multi-city protests now also morphing into attacks on the central government and even naming the self-proclaimed “general” of China’s war against COVID—Xi Jinping,’ said Sharon Hom, the Executive Director of Human Rights in China, while talking to the Daily Dot.

“‘The usual social control tools of an authoritarian regime—online censorship, surveillance, intimidation, and targeting and detention of protestors—may not be effective in the longer term to deal with the explosion of online and offline expression and protest actions,’ she added.”
