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 .

    They are. I suspect this is a provincial government or a department doing this without full approval from the inner party. There was a similar case a few months back where the SCMP posted some anti LGBT cringe and the official party newspaper published a harsh rebuttal.
