    The rubbish hashtag #要要搞定個要 has been trending for at least 10+ hours (all spam/bot posts). Also, if you search Beijing or Shanghai in Chinese (北京,上海), you'll see a sea of escort/porn tweets in the Latest tab.

    I was gonna make a post about it 6 hours ago, but thought surely twitter would be on top of it soon. Guess not.
