- im3w1l 7y agoThe case of Li Wenliang is really sad. He knew about the Corona virus epidemic at an early stage and tried to raise the alarm. He posted about it on social media. Police showed up and arrested him for spreading "false" rumors. After a while he was released but it was too late. The situation was out of control. He got the virus himself and died. It really scares me that increasing numbers of developers write software enabling tyranny and abuse like this. We must not censor the rumors, but give people the tools to evaluate for themselves what the truth really is.
