Random high-profile anecdata for why you should NEVER trust a China-approved messenger: http://www.zeit.de/feature/freedom-of-press-china-zhang-miao-imprisonment http://www.zeit.de/feature/freedom-of-press-china-zhang-miao... tl;dr Chinese assistant of a German newspaper was arrested for political signalling on WeChat.

This thread makes me feel terrible.
