Recently, a large number of Chinese netizens have collectively complained that their Weibo accounts were suddenly and uniformly banned without warning, without any violation, and without any appeal channel. Netizens generally suspect that this "indiscriminate account annihilation" is directly related to the Yu Menglong death incident and the Yunnan "wild child" incident.

On the 24th, Xiaohongshu was instantly flooded with complaints: "Accounts that have been around for over ten years are being banned just like that," "Membership fees were wasted," "No chance to appeal at all." Many people discovered that as long as they liked, commented on, or reposted anything related to Yu Menglong, even if it was two months ago, or even if the account had been inactive for a long time, it was precisely targeted and eliminated by big data. "It's like being wiped out in one fell swoop," "Completely disgusting," netizens angrily cursed.

Similar public outrage erupted on Zhihu, with a large number of users being banned for several days in a row, yet no violation of the 65 rules could be found. "This isn't management, this is silencing." Some angrily denounced: "Even ten-year verified accounts have been shut down, and they're still writing 'politically related' stuff? It's laughable."

Even more shocking is that several influential figures with millions of followers—Song Zude, Wolf Uncle, Luban, etc.—were also completely wiped out for supporting Yu Menglong. "No followers, no memberships, and no refunds."

Netizens unanimously concluded:

"The more they censor, the more guilty they seem."

"The crazy account bans show they're scared."

Following this was an unprecedented wave of resistance:

"Give it one star in the app store!"

"Go and sell its stock!"

"The more they censor, the more we should speak out!"

"Those who silenced them will pay the price!"

"Wait for the backlash!"

Public opinion is retaliating, and this time, countless ordinary people are standing up together.
