Media Law: Hong Kong Protest censorship

Hong Kong Protest

Individuals have been protesting in Hong Kong for a more Democratic government system, mostly due to education I believe.  In an effort to contain the citizens' demands, the government is desperately trying to censor all media that is related to the protest.  The government has deleted a huge amount of content from Chinese websites as well ordered all forms news to ignore the protest as a whole.  It saddens me that the government in Hong Kong is so set on keeping its citizens contained rather than listening to their wants and accommodating to them.
