> Ms Fan and Ms Leung say such harassment has also continued off campus. They have found pictures of themselves being shared on Chinese social media sites next to threatening messages. Ms Fan said one comment warned she would "face consequences".

If anyone's there, or knows someone who's there who happens to be protesting this, you should probably recommend they wear Winnie the Pooh merchandise, or wear t-shirts mentioning the Tiananmen Square protests, for their own personal safety. This has already gone too far, fighting fire by taking advantage of censorship your opponents are defending with violence is the most rational thing to do.

Maybe this is well known but I didn't understand why you would suggest wearing Winnie the Pooh merch. A quick search lead me to this article, linking here I'm case it is of interest to others:

How about "Don't let Winnie the Pooh turn HK into another Tiananmen Square" - 2 birds one stone.

I fail to see how this would be of any help, especially the former. To me it looks like a feel-good action with virtually no political impact.

I believe the intended impact is to prevent pictures of oneself from becoming famous, by making sure that they are censored.

The censorship trick won't work globally, and won't block authorities from seeing the picture, but I think the real goal is to avoid becoming individually well known within China as a dissident.

I think covering themselves with posters of the Tank man will work as well.

It would make sharing images of the protest on the mainland difficult.
