Thought perhaps some folks might be interested in this. It’s a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTzgE1nvxZs) from one of the channels I subscribe to called [Asian Boss](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2-_WWPT_124iN6jiym4fOw). Basically, Weibo categorized homosexuality in the same categories as pornography and violent content, which meant it could be banned. This video is a series of interviews with ordinary Chinese in Shanghai where they discuss the ban (which Weibo eventually walked back btw) and I found it interesting. ---

considering they’re video recording everyone and ranking their behavior I’d say they’re fucked. ---
