    They had an art installation which was visual riddles. Already taken down though and would identify me for sure. These are the last days of the old anon internet. China already has real-name authentication for everything. It’s even illegal to send naughty messages on wechat to your sex friends.

      Yup, for sure. If you can’t anonymize the riddles then that’s fine I thought they would just be fun word play or brain teasers. I think you can still send saucy messages, just not pornographic images and emojis, right?

        Nope, new law. Big Brother (an AI actually) watches everything you send on wechat and has a profile on you. Even dirty texts and land you in jail now. There was a big awareness campaign a while back. They’ll have a show trial soon of an egregious offender who will get the book thrown at him and be an example for the nation.
