We tried to contact China users blocked by Twitter and Facebook: Here's who wrote back:

Twitter suspended hundreds of accounts originating in China for “attempting to sow political discord in Hong Kong.' One user called himself a “Chinese patriot” but denied that he is a government-sponsored troll or part of any coordinated effort.

“My Facebook account was blocked,” Ou Lu Wang Ji, who declined to give his real name, said in an interview over a Chinese messaging app. “All I did was to post content against the mobs and supporting Hong Kong police.”He called himself a “Chinese patriot” but denied that he is a government-sponsored troll or part of any coordinated effort.

The Times sent messages to 20 Diba users, most of whom declined to comment or responded with a single line.“It’s very tight right now,” said another, A Lie, referring to the Twitter crackdown. “I suggest you ask others but they will turn you down too.” “This Hong Kong independence incident made me realize that freedom of speech is nothing but a joke. Thank you for making us Chinese even more united!” another wrote. “Foreign anti-China forces have never stopped wanting China to fail. They are so afraid of China getting stronger and stronger.”The Hong Kong protest movement has drawn millions of demonstrators into the streets since it began in June.
