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

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.
