After the last post publicly by Naomi Wu being

“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”

Naomi Wu mentions briefly on her silencing and how she is not nearly as safe as she was before now that it’s obvious to the Chinese government her disappearance won’t cause an uproar of bad press making China look bad.

damn hope she's able to relocate to a safer location

she's made a lot of weird but cool inventions plus she's also tried to pressure one of the companies for violating a GPL license(can't remember which)

it'd be a real shame if we were to lose her just like we've lost a lot of cool people for stupid reasons like Alan Turing, I'd be fucking pissed

She says in the article her SO is Uyghur, he's unable to relocate so she's unwilling.
