I wanted to welcome Harry Chen PhD to his account is @HarryChenPhD

He lives in China, and from what I can tell is currently living in Wuhan, the epicenter of the where he posts videos updating us all on the situation. He labels himself as a "renegade journalist".

He was recently banned from twitter because, well, China doesnt really like renegades or journalists. So we are proud to act as a platform to help him host his videos and get the word out on how things develop. Consider following him.

You can read a bit about how twitter oppressed his freedom of speech and what ultimately brought him to the fediverse at these two links:

@elia @freemo video compression from WeChat and Weibo make it very difficult to get any high quality material out of China without encryption...sorry about the video quality, I just forward banned content, your beef is with Tencent and their video compression

@HarryChenPhD

No worries, its fine by me. Perhaps if you record raw video on your phone and upload directly to peer tube without going through WeChat would make it easier to get high resolution videos out of the country?
