ReallySexyCyborg? Yeah, she tried that and then guess what happened... > 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. https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/1677480809450835969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/RealSexyCyborg/status/167748080945083596... She stopped uploading YouTube videos 6 months ago after 7 years.

That wasn’t anything to do with attempting to enforce the GPL though.

  It was all around the same time. A security vulnerability and gpl enforcement are the things she stopped since then. Except trying to start her business, which she still does.

    First off - we don't know why pressure against her increased recently. We just don't. We can make up stories about it, and try to assess their plausibility, but we don't know what really happened. That said, I think that the evidence we have is against this being notably related to GPL and her defense of it. She published her complaint against MediaTek almost two years before she "got her wings clipped" - the timelines don't really support the GPL issue as being a notable part the matter. Also, the situation for IP protection in China is on an upwards trend (https://carnegieendowment.org/2019/10/16/china-s-record-on-intellectual-property-rights-is-getting-better-and-better-pub-80098 https://carnegieendowment.org/2019/10/16/china-s-record-on-i...), and part of that is government led. I have a difficult time seeing police give her so much trouble for this. My preferred theory is that the straw which broke the camel's back was her minimally filtered commentary on the response to the June 2023 Plaza Hollywood Hotel stabbing. Naomi Wu feels strongly - and I believe, reasonably - that this was an anti-lesbian hate crime, and was furious that nobody in media was willing to acknowledge it as such. Male chauvinism and gendered violence, LGBT rights, public questioning of the results of a police investigation, and all in a venue which is easily accessible to foreigners - these are all things which are far more politically sensitive in China than IP compliance.

Wow, the police sent plainclothes thugs to her home to harass her, and her partner who is an Uygher is banned from leaving the country.

  I've known a few people with partners from Xinjiang, only one of them got out eventually. It took wining and dining the police for about 5 years AFAIK. (Source: Was invited to and attended one of said dinners.)
