Kind and cherished FOSS and computing freedom advocate @sleepyowl (Joyce Ng) has gone missing and there is reason to fear she may have been apprehended by authorities, possibly likely even for being framed. Nobody has been able to reach her and many of us are worried for her safety.
Joyce does work on verifiable open source hardware. She also has been an activist pushing against the rise of far-right Christian nationalism globally but especially in Singapore. Because of this and her identity, she has people who would like to see bad things happen to her.
Probably for this reason, she may have been misidentified by Five Eyes as being a threat actor. Joyce wrote about this concern in November, posting a threatening screenshot where she was tipped off. https://bitowl.online/about
Please spread this wide. Hopefully this is a false alarm but Joyce is a kind-hearted person who fights for human rights and computing freedom; many of us are worried for her safety.

➡️We have published a report about enshittification, on how and why digital products and services keep getting worse - and how we can turn the trend (hint: open tech, enforcement, public policy++)
Obviously @pluralistic is a big inspiration and help in this work.
More than 80 groups in Europe and the US has joined in a call to action.

Enjoy this short film!
There are investigations linking specific no-name Twitter accounts with less than 30 followers as the source of Musk's and Trump's disinformed beliefs. We are able to trace Trump's conspiracy beliefs of the gold being stolen in Fort Knox to just some random account on Twitter claiming it.
Whoever runs that account has more influence than you. You don't even need Russia or China to plant disinformation on a mass-scale, apparently all it takes is some Twitter Account.
