Mainland Chinese people have found a new tool to circumvent censorship on news and information about the umbrella revolution: Evernote. During Hong Kong protests Chinese government has repeatedly intervened to keep public order by blocking access to sensitive content on popular social platforms such as Weibo and WeChat. Nevertheless, these provisions haven’t stopped many internet citizens from searching new ways of communication; this is how the idea of using a co-working app popped up. Evernote is a Californian application that conquered the market thanks to its task management features that include the creation of personal to-do lists, clipping web-pages and, especially, sharing notes with other users. This last feature has allowed to copy and paste notes links in WeChat messages able to go unnoticed by key-words-based algorithms used to block content. The escamotage effectively works and it permits mainland people to read incisive articles of blast concerning government behaviour such as a witty editorial that accuses Chinese censorship for brainwashing the country’s youth. Since demonstrations started an impressive number of social networks have undergone censorship treatment due to government awareness of not having the power to control and select content shown; just to mention a few: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and counting. The reason why up to now Evernote hasn’t been considered a real threat is because it’s been conceived as a digital workspace rather than a sharing platform.
