Chinese social media giant WeChat shuts LGBT accounts

BANGKOK (AP) — China’s most popular social media service has deleted accounts on LGBT topics run by university students and nongovernment groups, prompting concern the ruling Communist Party is tightening control over gay and lesbian content.

I'm guessing this is true, which is disappointing. However, it doesn't mention any scope of these accounts though, so it's hard to say whether these were targeted for being LGBT accounts or if it's something else that got them banned.

EDIT: We'll see what the gov't does in response to this. Just read FidelCastro's comment, and remember the definition of critical support .

    It's good and all but it only happened after this incident went public, and the African Union reprimanded China. Why were African immigrants forced by the Guangzhou local government into this quarantine and testing situation anyway in the first place? None of this would've happened if they treated the African immigrants the same way they treated others. Also in this year's new year's celebration there was blackface. It's very bad and there's no way to possibly justify it
