Tencent's Tribute to Dissent Gets Deleted, Censored on Weibos

On December 30, 2012, Tencent News, a Chinese news website owned by China’s largest Internet service company Tencent, published an article entitle "New Years' Resolution: Pay Tribute to Ten Great Dissenters" (年终策划：致敬十大反对者). Global Voices Online has published a full translation here: http://globalvoicesonline.org/2013/01/01/chinas-top-10-protesters-listed-by-tencent-news/

These screenshots show that the article, originally available here - http://view.inews.qq.com/a/NEW2012122900106520 - was quickly deleted.

These screenshots, taken on January 3, 2013, show that both Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo were censoring searches for the article's title.

Here is Tencent's list of dissenters, along with some example of censorship relating to those dissenters from this blog:

• Wukan Village Residents: Against Fraud Election (乌坎村民：不公选举的反对者)
