26.1.5.1. Anonymous accounts ban (2017)

It is interesting to note that anonymous accounts are in theory banned, almost all Chinese people still have anonymous accounts, even little pinks, because everyone is always afraid of mistakenly saying the wrong thing, or of the payback of when the dictatorship falls.

It is also interesting that many of such anonymous accounts use stills of television series actors as profile pictures, and often beautiful young women. This is perhaps due to the phenomenal gender imabalance in China? Anime characters are also very popular.
