How did this article get the view "behind the curtain"? Conference calls of the Beijing network surveillance office are hardly public knowledge?
Together with the imprecise writing ("All the alerts went red") the articles claims are hard to take at face value.
- ncann 4y agoThat's the part that stood out to me, doesn't seem plausible that a random account on substack knows so much about behind the scene stuffs. Even things like the 400m number (or any number in there actually), where did those numbers come from? I don't even know what the original platform of the video was, which I assumed was not Youtube?

- yorwba 4y agoI think it's better to treat that post as part of the protest (someone supporting the message of the video imagining how it spreads far and wide) than as a reliable source on things like traffic figures (which, realistically, even the authorities can't know because of all the different copies floating around).
