China is intensifying its crackdown on Tibetan cultural expression by arresting dozens of citizens and banning the Tibetan language on digital platforms. In Shigatse alone, 97 people were detained in 2025 under cybersecurity laws for broadcasting in their native tongue. This technological surveillance involves task forces across 20 provinces, resulting in millions of suspended phone accounts. Users report that simple videos, such as eating traditional food, are flagged as illegal when narrated in Tibetan. This aggressive digital censorship forces creators to self-censor or integrate Chinese speech to avoid immediate bans, further threatening the survival of Tibetan linguistic identity.
