“The Chinese government cracked down on me but it’s the big bad westerners who aren’t listening to me that’s the problem”
Sympathy lost for this attention seeker.
WTF, that's your takeaway? She was one of the few voices warning us about security risks from the inside. Her point is that social media has one weapon: the streisand effect... But when instead there is silence then it is known there will be no accountability. The government will be emboldened by this. It wasn't a metaphor, she thinks they will really kill her now if she tweets more, and less people like her will be willing to post in the future.
Sounds like you're just proving her point.
Her point is that I should care about abuse against citizens number 200,000,000 by China because she personally is affected?
I already know China sucks, listening to an attention seeker doesn’t change that.
Not warning users about risks affects users in the entire world not just China.
I already know China sucks, listening to an attention seeker doesn’t change that.
She’ll complain about the people already on her side but not the oppressive government causing her issue? She was an attention seeker back on reddit, she hasn’t changed now and I don’t care.
So you never had any sympathy to begin with, because aTtEnShUn SeEkEr.
"But not the oppressive government willing to imprison and kill her" FTFY
Not to mention her ethnic minority romantic partner
Well, I find that really sad.
Whatever mistake they make, I think people living with constant fear of the threat posed by a totalitarian regime known for its violence against its own people deserve our sympathy.
Imagine being this fucking arrogant and blinded by privilege
At some point in the past she said not to trust anything she says because she would flip and say whatever she had to to protect her family. So yeah, grain of salt with anything like that.
Doing the CCPs work for them, I see
I'm not sure what the importance is of her being an Attention Seeker. Could you explain how that matters?
