Instagram appears blocked in China

In china Instagram has been blocked from the public. The application that was made for sharing pictures was found to be blocked by the Chinese people who use the applications, search phrases like "occupy central" and "Hong Kong students" have been blocked as the social media websites allows them to post up and share the protests that are currently taking place in China which are lead by students. the students are now using other methods of communication which allow them to have group chats so that they are able to communicate. 


  • Protest lead by students
  • Instagram is now blocked in china
  • China have censored some search phrases

I personally think that china should censor some of the social networking sites like Instagram as it may result in some unnecessary events taking place. for example, fights may break out the more people that arrive to protesting events. Therefore for societies safety i believe that some apps should be blocked off to the public.
