Sure would be cool if this kind of information was provided outside of a proprietary service that not only requires a login but also you to join a specific server just to then have this be hidden by 1,500 random messages that you don't care about. Shame there is no such place.

Renowned Chinese maker Naomi Wu has been threatened and questioned by Chinese authorities, facing imprisonment if she continues posting openly online.
Wu has brought attention to privacy issues with popular third-party keyboards in China that could record keystrokes and send them to developers like Tencent.
Researchers recently confirmed this vulnerability in a report to Tencent, who were slow to address the problem.
Shortly after, Wu was detained and warned to limit her online discussions or face consequences.
Wu feels silenced and that Western audiences who once supported her have abandoned her.
The video creator blames Elon Musk for ruining Twitter and limiting their ability to stay connected to people like Wu.
Centralized social platforms play a role in protecting dissenting voices by giving them visibility and an audience.
Frequent disruptions to platforms force rebuilding connections and communities elsewhere.
Wu's outspoken views on technology and politics in China came with risks, which authorities are now cracking down on.
There are calls to raise more awareness of Wu's situation through media coverage and online sharing.
