Weibo,??? ??? ??? ??? ?? China's version of Twitter, blocked millions of its overseas users from posting pictures or video yesterday, the 28th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing in 1989.
The ban over the weekend was simply announced as a "systems update," but people noticed that local users were also not able to change their profile information, nor post photos or videos in comments.

On Saturday morning, Weibo posted a notice to its 340 million users announcing the systems "upgrade," saying that some of its functions would not be available until Monday.

Some users decided to stop publishing posts until the restrictions were lifted.

The weekend would have seen a flood of commemorative posts about Tiananmen coming in. Some users pointed out the coincidence.
