Earlier this week China announced it would be ending term limits for its president.
That means President Xi Jinping, who was limited to two five-year terms like nearly all of his predecessors, can rule indefinitely.
The change sparked a backlash online, with criticism flooding local Weibo and WeChat platforms.
Unsurpringly, popular phrases were soon being censored and searches for these terms turned up zero results.
But the amount of censored content has grown in the last few days, to encompass popular terms that are both positive and critical of Xi. Even the letter 'N' was banned at one point.
Here's nearly every phrase that's been banned so far:
