Just recently I posted about looking for a lawyer on my WeChat (I wanted to file a lawsuit against the quarantine hotel I was in).

Right after I posted it, my WeChat started to take longer to load incoming messages, and my messages took longer to be sent. (I did a test with a phone logged into another account in the same wifi environment.)

This phenomenon disappeared a few days later though. I still wonder if I'm now in some watchlist or something.

In a surveillance state like China, technically everyone is on a "watchlist".
