Latest: It appears that @WHO has censored comments including words like "#Taiwan," "R.O.C," and "#China" under a livestream of its daily press conference, prompting Taiwan social media users to use creative ways to bypass the censorship and mount countermeasures.

@Facebook told me that fan pages do have the function to censor or block comments containing certain words or phrases, and in this case, it seems @WHO has activated this function to censor the usage of certain words in the comment section.
An expert who prefers to remain anonymous told me that this is a clear example of the @WHO exercising censorship against content related to #Taiwan.
Prior to today's incident, #Taiwan was not invited to the annual #WHA again despite support from multiple countries, including the United States and Japan. Representatives from two of Taiwan's diplomatic allies were also interrupted by the chair of WHA during their speech, ...
... as the chair ask them not to mention anything related to "observer status."
#Taiwan's @MOFA Minister Joseph Wu said he was dissatisfied about @WHO's decision to not invite Taiwan to attend WHA under observer status. He has reportedly protested against the decision.
