    the CCP is one of the vilest ruling parties and in charge of one of the worst governments in the world. She isn’t the only activist who has had this harassment. Obviously massive disgrace from Twitter, but as much as them taking action would help, the issue will not be solved as long as the Communist Party persists.

      I think the fact that this is a statement that needed saying is evidenced by how many people (presumably from .ml or of similar inclinations) are downvoting this, lol.

      Adding onto this. Just a few highlights from the article:

      She said: “I posted a poster for the Tiananmen Square massacre commemoration in Sutton and right after that, that account made deepfake images about me. They’ve been tagging my username since they started it.

      Ni said that one of the posts accusing her of animal abuse had correctly written that she had a cat. She said: “I feel like they’re doing some kind of profiling of me … Every time I go out, I feel like I might be followed or watched. And I actually think that might be the case.”

      Considering that there are secret Chinese police stations in other countries that target people like her, she likely is correct.

      Weird take, I am not ready to just say “oh it’s fine when X does this because the CCP started it.”

        I didn’t say it’s fine when Twitter does this. I specifically said it isn’t remotely okay. My point is only that this is not the only case of the CCP doing this, and that Twitter is not the only avenue it uses to do so.
