> The Uighurs did commit terrorist attacks

One in every 5 or 6 Uighurs could be in a camp right now Yet maybe only 1 in 1e-07 Uighur might have done so called "terror", these however are in jail or dead, not in a camp.

The "camps" are not part of the Penal system in China. Camp is not for the radical. [0]

Merly handsome former goat farmers who operated little blue cell phone stores in the city and love to drink tea or maybe sell steamed food to others who operate little blue cellphone stores.

A few hands full of the maybe ~100 terrorists (2019-1992 that i could find documented in 15 min) either did not survive camputere or were legally convicted by the authorities and executed or are in inside the penal system, some forever.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_system_in_China "These camps are reportedly operated outside the legal system"

(the ~21Mil Xinjiangies are 48% Uyghurs and 41% Han)

More reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Quanguo Chen Quanguo is a Chinese politician and current Communist Party Secretary of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and a member of the 19th Politburo of the Communist Party of China..

AFAIR: The cables have a few partial answers to your question: There is a centralized system that can give detainment orders. (supposedly a Blackbox to the People at least who follow its orders with boots on the ground)

One day apparently it spat out 24k names. They managed to imprison about 9k the following day.

Naturally the government know quite a few things about what you’re up to and this is a factor.

Going to the mosque is a supposedly the easy way in. Not sure in what xinjiang city the mosques are still accessible. All I could find was locked down ones with all kinds of barricades and monitoring devices.. I would be surprised if there was in Xinjiang unlike eat china anyone left who would dare to go to a mosque.

Some of the detainees are used by the state as force labor and leased out to companies. It’s speculated that this demand also can causes mass detainment.

zrth··on What were the creepiest declassified documents of the last decade?
Sure. Its no secret. https://www.google.com/search?q=china+concentration+camps+sa...
zrth··on What were the creepiest declassified documents of the last decade?
Its not 1300 detainees its 1,300 to 1,400 mass internment camps!

There are only about 12 Million Uyghurs to stat with. Thats 1 Camp for every ~ 10K Uyghurs!

According to wiki there are 1 million – 3 million detainees.

zrth··on What were the creepiest declassified documents of the last decade?
Probably the "China Cables". The manual used to run the Xinjiang concentration camps. Leaked just a few month ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Cables

Wiki: The China Cables are a small cache of secret Chinese government documents contained in a telegram, 4 bulletins and one court document from 2017. The cables were leaked by exiled Uighurs to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and published on November 24, 2019. The telegram details the first known operations manual for running the 1,300 to 1,400 mass internment camps of Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang, which China denied until 2018 and since calls re-education camps.

zrth··on GitHub stars won’t pay your rent
No i am not saying this. I am saying that: "I can't judge for the product in question "..
zrth··on GitHub stars won’t pay your rent
10% Sounds low. I can't judge for the product in question but for my programs, they are usually tiny blips standing on the shoulder of giants (libraries). So far i have never ask for money, if i'd do so i maybe would need to pass on 80% to not feel bad about it..

Not sure if you are cynical of sincere, either way, if the library devs get 47 cent from every donation driven program that relies on them, this could add up to some nice sum.

zrth··on GitHub stars won’t pay your rent
Wondering what percentage of the donations the author forwarded to the library maintainers and authors that his product relies on..

I can somewhat understand that you like that the people who tell you what to do don't have power over you. But doesn't that imply that people that you don't work with much have power over you? Is that better?
zrth··on Google: Please Stop Telling Lies About Me
Generally, the person or group of people behind an algorithm needs to be fully accountable and responsible for the algorithm they use to interact with the world.

If saying: "it's not me, it's the algorithm" gets you out of the responsibility you can do all kinds of morally questionable things.
