China sting shows censors fear posts that incite unrest

Last year, violence broke out in a north-western corner of China, whenhttp://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/27/world/asia/ethnic-violence-in-western-china.html?_r=0 against the police. Close to 30 people were reportedly killed, and social media lit up with posts about the riots. But as China's many censors got to work, many posts also quickly disappeared. But how did the government decide which could stay and which had to go?
A group of US researchers can help answer that question. They have lifted the lid on Chinese online censorship– by pretending to be censors themselves. They found that the censors of China's social media sites are only worried about posts that may incite mass protests, rather than ones that poke fun at individual politicians, for example.
