Naming and shaming companies who kowtow to Chinese censorship requests

In plain words

This GitHub project documents companies that comply with Chinese government censorship requests. It serves as a public record for activists, researchers, and concerned citizens who want to track corporate responses to censorship demands. The project compiles cases where businesses have altered content, removed services, or changed policies to satisfy Chinese authorities, providing transparency about corporate decisions that affect free speech.
