Partial List of Deleted WeChat Accounts

Following is a list of some of the accounts that were deleted on March 13, 2014, as central authorities’ ongoing crackdown on social media appears to have made its way to popular messaging service WeChat (via CDT Chinese). To give an idea of the types of individual and media accounts that are being targeted, we have translated the account names and provided links to some of the “self-media” outlets’ websites.
