Info on TinSquare isn't censored, you can find it in the Chinese web, they don't hide anything about it (because there is nothing much to hide!). But as bobs_guns says, if the info is already available, does it need to be on every mention of TS, especially for a touristy site?

Baidu baike is a 百科, an encyclopedia, not a tourist site.
Hm, okay that's fair, I looked around a little more and see it is indeed an encyclopedia, although I will say it isn't very detailed. I guess I don't know what the role this website is trying to fill; is this for introductory content? Is this a heavy traffic site? I will say that there definitely is TS detailed in other Chinese sites, a Chinese website is about half of where I read about TS originally. I don't think there is anything they should fear they have to hide. I guess my new guess will have to be: brevity.
I have spent more time looking around; a lot of articles are very spotty, have typos, miss fairly important information. Their article on the USA was almost...lukewarm? It's an odd site for sure. Incomplete at best.
