Source: a YouTube video
🤔
Source: A well known journalist who covers news about this, quoting Naomi Wu herself and what's been happening to her.
She basically said it herself though.
Did I tell you about the time I shagged David Attenborough? His reacharound is divine
So, you're claiming Naomi Wu is lying about her well documented and well known persecution by the Chinese government?
No, he's claiming that he shagged David Attenborough.
Naaah, sounds more like Attenborough shagged him.
I did make it sound like that, didn't I?
No shame in that
Oh, that's pretty believable, honestly.
Since you’re looking down on YouTube as a source, here you go:
Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes
Give up. You could post an article by a Pulitzer Prize Winner and it wouldn't be good enough. Hell, I posted an English translation of a Chinese article about the arrest of a Chinese LGBT author and it wasn't good enough.
I would be interested in reading that. Can you link it to me?

Ah yes, backing up the YouTube video with... A blog post? Basically a bunch of op-eds masquerading as a news source?
Who's "we"? Luddites?
Which is fair, but we all know that’s not why the original person posted the dismissive comment they did.
You do understand that’s like saying you look down on television as a medium, or magazines as a medium, correct?
Television and magazines are far more general. Television as a medium could be compared to Web as a medium. YT could be compared to a specific TV channel.
…Yeah, that falls apart when you consider YT is full of specific channels. That’s why I specifically compared it to TV. It’s far closer to cable than a single channel.
This is an absurd argument to make.
The 'medium' in this sense is mp4 (video w/sound). YouTube is a platform.
Is all video news fallable?
