Your friend in China cannot say that the crisis isn’t contained, or he will be detained. That is why the West is obsessed with freedom.

Interestingly, that is also why the upthread comment complaining about our lack of freedom is so absurd.

It implies that your friend lives in Hong Kong or Taiwan, and that China employs people to read Facebook posts from those places. Unless you mean that she sent you a messenger chat (which now has end-to-end encryption). In that case, she lives in Hong Kong or Taiwan and the Facebook encryption should not be relied on to protect yourself from Chinese monitoring.

That's right. And will she be detained for using Facebook or VPN?

No.
