It has grown faster, smarter and increasingly invisible, quietly erasing the memory of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre from public view.

Thirty-six years on, Beijing still has not disclosed the official death toll of the bloody crackdown on a pro-democracy gathering on June 4, when more than 1 million protesters were in the square.

Historians estimate that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) killed anywhere from 200 to several thousand people that day.

Aware of Tiananmen Square
Acknowledge it as a tragedy
Fully allowed to share that information
