    • 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.
