Tl;dw?
Btw is there a bot to post automated video transcripts?
-
Renowned Chinese maker Naomi Wu has been threatened and questioned by Chinese authorities, facing imprisonment if she continues posting openly online.
-
Wu has brought attention to privacy issues with popular third-party keyboards in China that could record keystrokes and send them to developers like Tencent.
-
Researchers recently confirmed this vulnerability in a report to Tencent, who were slow to address the problem.
-
Shortly after, Wu was detained and warned to limit her online discussions or face consequences.
-
Wu feels silenced and that Western audiences who once supported her have abandoned her.
-
The video creator blames Elon Musk for ruining Twitter and limiting their ability to stay connected to people like Wu.
-
Centralized social platforms play a role in protecting dissenting voices by giving them visibility and an audience.
-
Frequent disruptions to platforms force rebuilding connections and communities elsewhere.
-
Wu's outspoken views on technology and politics in China came with risks, which authorities are now cracking down on.
-
There are calls to raise more awareness of Wu's situation through media coverage and online sharing.
(Used kagi summarizer for this)
Man, I utterly detest Musk and think he's dumb as bricks, but blaming Musk for this feels like a big stretch. Not, you know, Tencent or the CCP?
That part of the video is more "it sucks these rich assholes are ruining our ability to stay connected by destroying the experience we'd come to enjoy and become used to." It's not saying he meant it, just mentioning how hard it is to stay connected with people online while switching platforms, and how easy it is to lose track of things you found important before.
There can be more than one person to blame. This isn't binary.

I mean... we're talking makers and hackers. If I was a Chinese cop I wouldn't want to piss off a gazillion terminally online simps with the skills to fuck up your IT.

lol
I mean it's definitely true to some extent. The world's autocrats hate Twitter.

Not a transcript, but probably even better.
Here's her article on it that includes sources:
Just another moronic sinophobic horseshit story that appeals to spoilt yank bigoted children.
Eat shit and die, tankie.
