At the bottom of the article is a link to another article on him.  Basically he's hated in China, I am not really even sure if Tron (whatever Tron is) is allowed in China, it may have been censored out.  The article in essence made it sound that he is so disliked there that the only way for him to go was west.

My concern is that state actors may acquire user data through corporate transfer of equity from extant equity holders to ones captive or otherwise associated with states.  I currently do not believe Steemit, Inc. is so associated - but I certainly could be wrong, and the only evidence either way is how Steem is distributed and deployed, which I poorly grasp.

Given my personal experience with corruption, fraud, institutional power, and extant information regarding China, I will be unable to undertake posting under the expected surveillance and resulting censorship that China is purported to undertake to control society.  Currently, while state actors clearly have the ability to closely surveil whomever they want, the West demonstrates little direct intervention at the user level to control information, and relies on subcontractors, such as Twatter, Goolag, and Microshaft to do so.

Absent institutions directly associated with state actors such as China, that clearly does directly effect surveillance and narrative enforcement on individuals, Steem remains available to me as a vector for my speech.  Given Tron's dependence on China, I would be rash to undertake my current practices should Tron acquire Steemit, Inc.  The events that have prompted my pseudonymity have apparently been precluded by separation of my speech from my physical person, despite that state actors can undertake such direct intervention.  Threats to me and my family's safety have ended due to Western governments' subcontracting censorship and Steemit, Inc. not being such a subcontractor.

Thanks!
