the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown, and Tibet independence were the most heavily censored, as expected.Posts mentioning "sudden incidents," the Olympics, and corruption were also highly likely to be deleted.
Censorship methods varied from deleting entire posts with no explanation, to replacing offending posts with an apology note, to hiding posts from public view, to replacing forbidden words with asterisks while leaving the rest of the text on view.
