| 2018 || {{dts|August 7}} || Website || BBC || Censorship Site-wide censorship due to HTTPS adoption || The BBC website is blocked in China shortly after it migrated to HTTPS-only. For HTTPS websites, it is not possible for intermediaries in the network to identify individual pages being browsed, so the Chinese government needs to block the whole site in order to block access to politically sensitive content.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45098190|title = BBC websites blocked in China after security change|date = August 7, 2018|accessdate = April 13, 2019}}</ref>
