Apparently, the Chinese government brought the hammer down on Naomi for pointing out how they spy on Signal used via a third-party keyboard on phones

After 8 years of daily tweeting one of the loudest, most candid voices coming out of China has been deplatformed- absolutely no one gives a shit. I could be dead in a ditch- but we aren’t actually people, we’re just signs for people like you in the West to wave at each other in their ideological war. –Naomi Wu

Sadly this is what I've been feeling nowadays.

It's not like we don't have our own problems over here that take up our time.

Also one of the increasingly problematic issues is getting news out of China

So what? Chinese government is cracking down on her and what is the West supposed to do? Declare war? Send Seal team 6?

[–] CapillaryUpgrade@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least talk about.

That's what she's criticizing her western followers and the western media for not doing.

The thought that all the western world can do is to either declare war or sit on our hands is plain wrong.

We don't actually know what's happening. She has always been concerned about Winnie the Pooh's minions shutting her down, like they silence so many others in their country.

We have to assume that's what happened, and if it has, we really don't know what is the course of action likely to be helpful and not make the situation even worse for Naomi.

Trying to embarrass the Chinese government generally doesn't make them apologize and back down.

What is there to talk about? We only know what's being shared outside of China. Which is not a lot. I watch the China show, which seems one of the few sources that doesn't just regurgitate the government propaganda but we can only do so much.

The best course of action for her is to leave China. Maybe not an option for her due to personal reasons, but staying in Shenzhen is her choice.

She's absolutely right.
