Two of China’s popular science social media accounts were suddenly scrubbed, marking a step-up in censorship on China’s online platforms.

Independent media outlets, Elephant Magazine and its affiliated PaperClip, and their founder’s personal account vanished from China’s primary social media platforms on July 14 without warning. Neither China’s Internet watchdog nor other authorities posted any comments or punishment.
