Project #5 Optical Illusion
Error Sitong Bridge
Description
On October 13, 2022, a banner with the slogan "No more PCR tests, we want food. No more lockdowns, we want freedom. No more lies, we want to vote. No more cultural revolutions, we want to reform. No more 'leader', we want democracy. No more of being slaves, we want to be CITIZENS." appeared on the Sithong Bridge in the Haidian District of Beijing, while a speaker played the audio of the above content.
'Si Tong Bridge' immediately became a banned term on the Chinese Internet, and a search for related content on Weibo (one of China's top social media platforms) would not show any results. A variety of error messages may pop up or fail to load the relevant page. Many people have even had their accounts permanently blocked as a result.
