The last tweet I saw from her that she can’t post on social media anymore and other people talking about it seem to be anti-China.

    In her own words:

    Hasan Minhaj, of the Netflix show “Patriot Act”, decided that in a feature incredibly critical of the Chinese government, its leaders, and its policies- to splice in clips of me- a high profile PRC citizen, living in China, without my permission and completely out of context.

    The video segment was extracted from a feature I shot for the Wall Street Journal years earlier (who were absolutely professional and took the written agreement that I have provided journalists for years not to discuss anything that might pertain to my sexual orientation or relationship status very seriously). The Patriot Act included the footage in such a way as to make it appears I was a willing participant in a video attacking Chinese leadership.

    This is insanely dangerous.

    It was not simply dangerous, it was also deceitful. Hasan took a quote where I spoke to the Wall Street Journal about financial privacy (the government being able to see online payments) and took it out of context to make it look like I was defending online censorship.

      Thanks for posting this.

      To be an enemy of the US is dangerous but to be a friend is fatal.

      But this was 2019, why did she go quiet on (the website formerly known as) twitter so recently? And what did she mean by getting “wings clipped” in the tweet?
