Tencent Internet-holding denies censorship charge

The biggest Chinese Internet company called Tencent denies all charges of its chat-application WeChat censoring. According to the word of the company’s representatives the inaccessibility of many types of the content abroad is a technical error not an act of censorship. At the same time many blogs and and West editions report that “technical errors” can appear only if messages of users include any kind of “prohibited words”. In this way according to The Next Web blog’s data the error take place every time a user talks on any of “sensible themas, for example the name of the prohibited Falgulon group or the one of newspaper, the journalists of which openly opposed censorship. Also users massages after stating links of the oppositional blogs are also inaccessible.

We remind that earlier the Chinese government was repeatedly accused of Internet censorship, however the official Beijing never admitted facts of political blocking, saying that they only block resources with pornography and illegal content.

Today the Internet-holding published the issue according to which some foreign users cannot get the access to a number of message due to some technical errors. We are taking measures to eliminate this problem and adduce an excuse”, - said Tencent.

Nowadays Tencent is also the operator of the instant messages service QQ and of the Tencent Weibo blog-platform. The WeChat numbers nearly 300 million Internet users.
