A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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

“The Chinese government cracked down on me but it’s the big bad westerners who aren’t listening to me that’s the problem”

Sympathy lost for this attention seeker.

WTF, that's your takeaway? She was one of the few voices warning us about security risks from the inside. Her point is that social media has one weapon: the streisand effect... But when instead there is silence then it is known there will be no accountability. The government will be emboldened by this. It wasn't a metaphor, she thinks they will really kill her now if she tweets more, and less people like her will be willing to post in the future.

But you don't understand, she's an attractive woman and therefore must be an attention seeker and nothing more.

/S

Imagine being this fucking arrogant and blinded by privilege

[–] cacheson@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sounds like you're just proving her point.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Her point is that I should care about abuse against citizens number 200,000,000 by China because she personally is affected?

I already know China sucks, listening to an attention seeker doesn’t change that.

Not warning users about risks affects users in the entire world not just China.

She’ll complain about the people already on her side but not the oppressive government causing her issue? She was an attention seeker back on reddit, she hasn’t changed now and I don’t care.

Sympathy lost for this attention seeker.

She was an attention seeker back on reddit

So you never had any sympathy to begin with, because aTtEnShUn SeEkEr, which is the lamest cop-out ever. Just say you hate women and get it over with.

"But not the oppressive government willing to imprison and kill her" FTFY

Not to mention her ethnic minority romantic partner

[–] gaael@beehaw.org 29 points 1 year ago

Well, I find that really sad.

Whatever mistake they make, I think people living with constant fear of the threat posed by a totalitarian regime known for its violence against its own people deserve our sympathy.

[–] fuzzywolf23@beehaw.org 17 points 1 year ago

Doing the CCPs work for them, I see

[–] falsem@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

At some point in the past she said not to trust anything she says because she would flip and say whatever she had to to protect her family. So yeah, grain of salt with anything like that.

I'm not sure what the importance is of her being an Attention Seeker. Could you explain how that matters?
