Where's the tankies to explain how the Uyghur concentration camps are not a big deal?
I'm honestly surprised I don't see any comments from Lemmygrad and Hexbear accounts yet saying some tankie shit.
Especially Hexbear
Hexbear's been swarming lately in anything even vaguely political turning those threads into trash fires.
Maybe they're just focusing on the meme communities right now.
Hell, some claim they don't exist.
I've been following Naomi for several years, and I'm convinced that she's the kind of functional genius that the world needs more of. I really don't understand why she hasn't had better reception and support from the US maker community and tech press. I think the way she's been treated is a combination of envy, sexism and racism/jingoism.
I think the 3D printing community should be more aware of her situation, so I've cross-posted this to !3dprinting@lemmy.ml and !3DPrinting@lemmy.world

She's hot, hyperfeminine, and has spicy political opinions.
The algorithm seemed to have turned against her a few years back.
Actually there was an incident a few years back where she was demonetized and nearly lost her Channel on YouTube. Only coming back after a large outcry from the youtube/maker community. I don't remember the exact details. But I do remember it happening.
She's a fucking baller, I wish her the best and hope she and her partner can stay safe and maintain their sadly increasingly tenuous freedom.
She’s an amazing engineer and inventor and was one of the best Chinese voices in the global tech community, consistently brining her own perspectives without holding back or letting herself be bullied. What a massive loss.
I didn't know she was pointing out security vulnerabilities. Great to see Citizen Lab doing God's work as usual.
Wu herself had previously sent various public tweets obliquely warning about similar, privacy harming issues associated with the Sogou software in 2019, citing a 2015 report describing similar vulnerabilities. A particular concern she shared was that users of Sogou may decide to install Signal App to communicate, believing the app's safety profile to be broadly appropriate for many people. However, the eavesdropping and network fingerprinting risks associated with the use of a third party keyboard such as Sogou take precedence over Signal's security profile It is possible that Wu's tweets about the issues in the Sogou software of which she was aware may have caught the attention of Chinese authorities who were searching for related information on Western networks.
I love Naomi wu / sexy cyborg. I've been watching her for years and she helped encourage me to setup my own 3d printer. It hurts to see someone who's been so inspirational to me be silenced like this. I hope she can stay safe and have a productive makerspace still
Bloody hate the CCP. Also the concept of face, really hate it.
