Two Years of Sensitive Words: The Grass-Mud Horse List

In April 2011, CDT Chinese began tracking keywords blocked from Sina Weibo
search results, collecting them on a public Google spreadsheet. Among the
obscenities and names of foreign media are terms which outline the arc of
events, from “Wukan” on December 6, 2011 to “Wen Jiabao + leave office” on
March 6, 2013 and beyond. Now all 2057 terms (and counting) are available
in English.The Grass-Mud Horse list includes the English translation of
each blocked keyword, as well as link to the relevant Sensitive Words post
and information on retests where available. The list will continue to
expand so long as Weibo blocks search results.

You can view the list by clicking this link

CDT encourages reader tips, which you may submit via the form provided at
the bottom of every future Sensitive Words post.
