The claim

✖️ 李老师不是你老师 抖音、B站搜索“姆巴佩”只剩官媒 10月29日，有网友发现，在抖音、B站搜索“姆巴佩”，结果全是官媒及媒体账号发布的相关内容，普通用户的视频难觅踪影。 但只要将搜索词改成“姆 巴 佩”或“姆巴”，就能重新搜到普通博主发布的视频。

Background

China maintains strict internet censorship, often referred to as the 'Great Firewall,' controlling access to foreign websites and filtering domestic content. This system aims to regulate information flow and suppress content deemed politically sensitive or harmful by the government. Major Chinese social media platforms operate under these regulations.

Why this is alpha

Chinese social media platforms Douyin and Bilibili are reportedly censoring searches for 'Mbappe,' limiting results to official media accounts, a development not covered in mainstream news. This suggests a new, subtle form of content control.

Mainstream news reports on China's Communist Party and economic indicators, but there is no coverage of specific content censorship on social media platforms like Douyin and Bilibili regarding search terms like 'Mbappe,' or the methods users employ to circumvent such filters.
