I'm appalled that I'm only finding out about this now.

For context her last Tweet:

"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."

Strange domain. I was not able to resolve the web site's (hackingbutlegal.com) IP address using Google's DNS, OpenDNS, or my ISP's default resolver. Cloudflare's DNS (1.1.1.1) resolves it to an IP address.

Am I being paranoid in thinking that Musk’s exposure in China & disdain for the LGBTQ community could lead him to lower the reach of tweets related to this issue?

This is incredibly sad and disturbing, not least because there have been hardly a murmur about this in the west.... I really hope all the best for her and her partner. I hope the tide will turn one day and Chinese people will be allowed to speak their mind again.

No. At this point Twitter (I refuse to call it "X" and I will die on this hill) is little more than Elon's personal agitprop and trolling platform, and he would absolutely be petty enough to pull something like that.

From my reading it sounds like her girlfriend Kaidi is under house arrest, and potentially both of them under surveillance. I'm guessing frequent checkins with the local police. Hope I'm not misinterpreting.

Article also notes her historic calling out of potential keyboard app keystroke siphoning threats in China could be related. Sogou input recently found to transmit every keystroke by Citizen Lab.
