    1. The censorship is for social media sites so it shouldn’t really affect SEO practices. Of course, it does mean you can’t use social channels like Facebook as a way to rank in search results. But as for optimising websites, it shouldn’t have any impact.

      It seems like censorship – at least for now – is mainly focused on social channels and content which is critical of the government, religion etc.. so avoiding those topics should mean avoiding any issues with censorship.
