When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was...
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
She has a large social media presence. Her followers should be the one raising the flag, making noise. And that echo chamber should magnify so the media can’t ignore it. Expecting the media to pick it up without her fans doing so first is weird. We should be able to point to the discussion forums the Twitter storms the Reddit threads etc where people are getting up in arms over their favorite creator disappearing. But we’re not. This this news article doesn’t cite it.
Yup, I only posted it on the off chance that there is some truth here or someone knowns more
I’ve wondered why the Chinese Government didn’t shut her down long ago It would be hard for them to not know she’s getting around their measures and what she’s posting or if she is/was an agent of government propaganda promoting Chinese tech
Also ties in with the LMG drama as she has accused Linus of sexual harassment and propositioning her on a trip to China
