Instagram blocked in China in response to Hong Kong democracy protests
1 of 1 2 of 1
The democracy-busting Chinese government in Beijing appears to have taken another step in stifling the sharing of information.
Numerous reports, including this one from Reuters, state that Facebook's photo-sharing service known as Instagram is no longer available in China.
It comes in the wake of a police crackdown on democracy protests in Hong Kong that sent more than two dozen people to hospital.
The hashtag #OccupyCentral has been used to disseminate many photos of police repression over Twitter.

No more selfies of young women puckering their lips! This is grim news indeed.
