“Ok for those of you that haven’t figured it out I got my wings clipped and they weren’t gentle about it- so there’s not going to be much posting on social media anymore and only on very specific subjects. I can leave but Kaidi can’t so we’re just going to follow the new rules and that’s that. Nothing personal if I don’t like and reply like I used to. I’ll be focusing on the store and the occasional video. Thanks for understanding, it was fun while it lasted”
Naomi Wu mentions briefly on her silencing and how she is not nearly as safe as she was before now that it’s obvious to the Chinese government her disappearance won’t cause an uproar of bad press making China look bad.
I had the same question, and found the answer in the thread.
It would be like if Steve from GN was detained during a fab visit by the Chinese government. That would be tech news regardless of whether or not they mentioned GN.
She’s been meaningful to the community both as an engineer/designer and as a public figure.
You really don’t deserve down votes for not knowing that, but I think a lot of people were just triggered by the way you asked the question.
