How did the Chinese government find out the identities of contributors Chen Mei (陈玫) and Cai Wei (蔡伟)? Please please please enforce strong anonymity measures for contributors. #598

Fuck they were charged: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3089002/coronavirus-chinese-activists-held-posting-censored-articles

Were their names publicly used while contributing? I couldn't find them easily in the commit messages.

Please enforce contributors who live in China to use strong anonymity measures since you seem correctly to be using a shared terminusbot account for contribution.

Tor or VPN are the minimum. Encrypted hard disks are also a must. I wonder if the CCP can find identities by matching push timestamps though and correlating with network activity.

Stay safe.

Thanks!

I wonder why not just use GitHub issues for communication (yes, also with Tor in case Microsoft decides to comply to Chinese IP disclosure requests but here they claim they don't: https://help.github.com/en/github/site-policy/guidelines-for-legal-requests-of-user-data#requests-from-foreign-law-enforcement ).

Your message footer suggests that 品葱 could also be compromised? I would love a reference to that as well is you have one.
