Blank piece of paper

Blank pieces of paper, posters and placards have been used a form of protest. The message sent by such a protest is meant to be implicit and understood, but the lack of writing and slogans on the paper itself is designed to thwart efforts by authorities to prove that their prohibitions and regulations have been violated.

Early examples occurred in the 1960s when protests became common. In 2022, the symbol was used in several countries, especially China.
