EXCLUSIVE: Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes (www.hackingbutlegal.com)

When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens than as genuine human beings.

Given how much the CCP controls China, you’re always a bit suspicious that any cool content from there is actually state-sponsored (TikTok seems to have a lot of channels like that). That was the first impression I got from the first video I saw of sexycyborg and I’m sure that a lot people dismissed her for similar reasons. But if you learn about her story, it all seems legit and she’s a very inspiring hacker.

TikTok shows you what you encourage it to show you.

I've never seen any CCP prop, likely because I either say "not interested" or quickly scroll away from anything that is that kinda shit
