Comment on How China’s internet police went from targeting bloggers to their followers

Makes you wonder how they identified them. If they know what he wrote and he was using a VPN, it’s r either state prosecution receiving information from VPN provider and/or discord, them sharing personal info, or backdoors being used.
Does discord respond to Chinese inquiries? The Twitter example with mobile phone numbers makes me think that may be the most likely identification.

Use of a VPN can be detected by ISP inspection, they then probably had other survellance on why he was VPNing out, or the Influencer had another follower that was a plant and collected a list of thr followers
