Aside from comments about TikTok video apparent censorship involving
alpacas...
"the Alpaca has another meaning in China – as a symbol of resistance to internet censorship."

The creatures took on that unlikely role thanks to a pun on the mandarin
words cào nǐ mā, which translate into a very crude term involving sex
and your mother. Cào nǐ mā also sounds very like the words for “grass
mud horse”, so it was applied to Alpacas.
Which is why in 2019 a Yorkshire Alpaca farm reported it was pleasantly surprised to have attracted strangely large numbers of Chinese tourists.
The tourists came to take photos that let them use a naughty word on
social media. And to pat cute Alpacas.
“Cào nǐ mā” seldom makes it through Chinese internet filters. But the characters for the translation of “Alpaca” do. Images of Alpacas
therefore became a meme and that meme became a subversive statement
about circumventing censorship.
Dissident artist Ai Weiwei even published a photo of himself naked, save
for a toy Alpaca covering his genitals. He captioned the work “A Grass
Mud Horse covering the center”. He also published an odd “Gangnam Style” parody video titled “Caonima Style” that includes him dancing while handcuffed.

And, this is probably a good example of "social media hacking"
