This is pretty clearly a low-effort filter for advertisements deemed political.

> 204 "人民报", “People’s daily newspaper”

People's Daily is an official Communist Party newspaper... Why on earth would they blocklist that if this is a politically-motivated censorship program (as the paper/many here are implying)?

Renminbao [人民报] is an independent Chinese online news website that criticizes the Chinese regime.

First result, funnily enough via a site that tracks phrases censored in China.

It's a bad translation. "People's daily newspaper" should translate 人民日报 (the newspaper you mention); 人民报 contains no "daily" element.

Talk about sticking your head in the sand. Pretty clearly that's not what it is at all.
