The #MeToo Campaign in China has again created a huge controversy for Chinese regulators as victims are now using blockchain platform to protect their posts from getting deleted by higher authorities. They are sharing their stories through a website “Every Snowflake”. The blockchain platform is helping victims to overcome a real problem of data integrity as well.

The year 2017, witnessed a number of #Metoo stories related to sexual harassment and abuse of position in the Chinese Universities. Through the effort of Zheng Xi the movement started through a campaign following another similar of its kind, “Silence Breakers”. That triggered lot more victims to come forward to share their stories.

The report explains that the initial name of the campaign was ‘woyeshi’, which means MeToo in Chinese. This campaign has since then faced many prohibitions and restrictions. The Chinese Government and technology platforms banned hashtags and keywords used by the victims. Hence, ultimately the activists chose a blockchain ledger to share their stories among the audience.

The main idea behind this step is to protect the stories from getting off the page by Chinese regulators. The data are stored inside a blockchain network that helps in providing a tamper-free web presence. Similarly, blockchain also enables easy access to the data by anyone. Hence, within a short span of time the Chinese activists want to share their data using blockchain.

However, it has weak links as well. The Government can still ban the website which displays the data thereby restricting any further sharing of the stories without getting able to hamper Blockchain data though.
