Summary and My Comments
8.20

@clowwindy started arguing with @breakwa11 (on GitHub) about the Shadowsocks’ licensing problem. @clowwindy talked about how Chinese developer ignored the GPL license.

8.20 Night

V2EX closed the Shadowsocks forum node. The URL redirect to the index.

@clowwindy deleted all issues on GitHub and changed all description to “Something happened.”. He also cleaned the membership of the Shadowsocks organization and hided all members from public view.

8.21

Rumor about “@clowwindy has been invited for some team” came out. (having tea with the authority means get warned).

@clowwindy replied on shadowsocks-windows #305 issue:


I was invited for some tea yesterday. I won't be able to continue developing this project.***

@clowwindy locked his Twitter account from public view.

8.21 Night

@clowwindy tweeted again to show he was still alive after the tea.

@clowwindy stated for the second time that he could not continue the development.

@breakwa11 said she would continue the development of Shadowsocks. @clowwindy thanked her. (I feel like it’s some sort of act-play)

8.22

@clowwindy deleted all the repositories related to Shadowsocks on GitHub. He’s last tweets on this incident were “I’ve said what I wanted to and could say.” / “Declaration: I will not involve the development of Shadowsocks.”


@breakwa11 mentioned some critical flaw Shadowsocks is having right now that might cause Shadowsocks get Walled at a glance. She also implied that she would make new SS closesourse for a while (about a year) to ensure the bug get fixed.

My personal feeling is that the country is leaping to a wrong track. We don’t necessarily know where the fuck our country is going, but we can tell it’s someplace fucked up.

真的猛士,敢于直面惨淡的人生,敢于正视淋漓的鲜血。

I guess we are about to see some revolution in the following decades.

Somme comments from GFW blog:

  • @zmt0516:首先表示感谢,ss被我用在不止翻墙的很多地方,其次表示理解,国宝总能找出一个正经人的弱点 @clowwindy

  • @white_pigeon:之前党国一直只采取技术手段封锁,直到出现了他们战胜不了的对手。

  • @Cosmospolite:配合《国家安全法》、《网络安全法》,证明你国梦的最优解就是移民。

  • @freeopg:@clowwindy 谢谢你为中国互联网自由做出的贡献。

这个世界真是病了.
