Original caption: Twitter deleted some photos and videos of the Nanjing massacre for having “unprovoked blood”

[Artículo / Observador Wang Shichun]Today is the seventh National Day of Commemoration for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre in China. Public Memorial Days are held across the country to remember national humiliation, remember history, appreciate peace, and look to the future.

Yet in the face of the internationally recognized history of the crimes of Japanese troops invading China, the world-renowned social network Twitter still demonstrated its “double standard.”

On December 13, some Chinese users were blocked after posting historical materials about the Nanjing massacre on Twitter, and related images and videos were also removed. The reason given by Twitter for the “ban” was that these materials were “bloody without provocation”.

But on the same day, Twitter also pardoned a large number of Japanese rightists and published the so-called “Nanjing massacre theory”.

Chinese Netizens Who Were Banned From Twitter For Posting Historical Images Of The Nanjing Massacre

　　On the 13th, a Japanese right-wing account (note that the account ID is called “Yamato Power”) asked the Nanjing Massacre “Why is the death toll increasing every year?”“

On December 13, the official Weibo of the Chinese Academy of History broke the news that Twitter’s community manager, who had been “double standard” in China-related comments, had actually set a “double standard” at the Nanjing Massacre this time.

Observer.com verified that several Chinese Twitter users were “frozen” by Twitter after posting historical photos and videos about the Nanjing massacre, and related information was also removed or requested.

However, the official reasons for the title given by Twitter are “unbelievable”, saying that the words of these users “violate the fact that Twitter prohibits the publication of unprovoked bloody words”.

Most of the photos posted by these users are internationally recognized historical images and even image evidence. For example, as important evidence from the “International Far East Tribunal”, a screenshot from a Japanese news report that recorded evidence of the brutality of Japanese war criminals and the executioners of the executioners Toshiaki I and Takeshi Noda of the “One hundred men” from the Nanjing massacre.

In addition to freezing accounts and deleting relevant historical images, Twitter also “limited” some related literary and documentary creations. For example, the painting “Nanjing Massacre” by American painter Li Zijian and a two-minute introduction in English to the Nanjing Massacre were all dubbed by Twitter for “sensitive content” reasons.

On the same day, Twitter also pardoned a large number of Japanese right-wingers and published the so-called “Nanjing massacre counterfeiting theory” and the “Nanjing massacre counterfeit theory” and other views of the right.

An account by the Japanese right that claimed to “restore national character” openly ridiculed: “Why did the number of Nanjing massacre increase year by year?” In addition, the famous Japanese right-wing senator and the Liberal Democratic Party Hiroshi Yamada accused of “falsifying photos of the Nanjing massacre” and “figures of the Nanjing massacre”. Comments on the right such as “fake” were not only not restricted by Twitter, but also received a lot of likes.

Comments from right-wing lawmakers from the Liberal Democratic Party have been liked, posted, and commented on by a large number of Japanese netizens.

Japanese Twitter users even claimed that the Nanjing Massacre was “the so-called Nanjing Massacre.”

　　At the time of this article’s publication, only a few media outlets in Japan have reported on the news about the National Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, and these reports are indispensable for “yin and yang.”

　　Japan’s “Current Events News” stated in the report that the reason for China’s commemoration of the “Nanjing Incident” (Japanese officials have not directly recognized the Nanjing Massacre, but called the violence the “Nanjing Incident”, Observer Net Note). “Due to the epidemic and the ‘human rights issue’ that is being attacked by the West, we call on the masses to promote patriotism.”

This is not the first time that Twitter has demonstrated a “double standard” on historical issues. Already on May 9 of this year, Russia commemorated the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Fascist War (European Battlefield). Twitter blocked a series of accounts that published the “Soviet Red Army pointing to the Berlin Reichstag” on the grounds that it “violated community regulations on dangerous persons or organizations.”

@ 中国 史 学院 asked: “Regarding the Nanjing Massacre, who caused this bloodbath? The so-called freedom of the press promoted by Western countries, once it involves heinous crime that really breaks the bottom line of the human civilization, is ruined.This completely exposed their nature, an uncivilized, even anti-human civilization.“

To mourn the victims of the Nanjing Massacre and all those who were killed by the Japanese invaders during the Japanese imperialist war of aggression against China, on February 25, 2014, the seventh meeting of the 12th National People’s Congress decided that the 13 it was established as the National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

May the dead rest in peace and peace forever!
