The censorship of social media is mainly to prevent collective action: "The study showed that, contrary to western conventional wisdom, Chinese social media is as raucous and chaotic as it is everywhere else, so the Daily Mail’s idea of a country full of timid, faceless people with only banal opinions is baloney. The study also revealed, though, that these outlets are ruthlessly but astutely censored: what gets taken down, apart from the usual suspects such as Falun Gong, pornography, democracy etc, are any posts that could conceivably stimulate collective action, even when the posts are favourable towards the government. You can say more or less what you like in China, in other words, as long as nothing you say might have the effect of getting people out on to the streets." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/22/chinese-internet-censorship-uses-distraction https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/22/chines...
