I'm in China, and I just see people learning about this the very hard way. There were many unusual unrests and crackdowns recently.
SMS is definitely a weak spot without a second thought. The state actor can easily analyse and reroute then pull off a massive list of names straight to gulag.
It's 鄒忌諷齊王納諫 (Zou Ji use his satirical admonishment to King of Qi).
It happened during the Warring States period (475 BC - 221 BC). The culture was very different compared to later imperial dynasties. It's more like medieval Europe - consisting of a lot of feudal states rather than being a powerful empire. Ethics drastically varies from person to person, where we can find people truly living with their virtue, and people most cunning.
Original names in case anyone was curious:
Mr.Lao -> Zou Ji
Mr.Hsu -> Duke Xu
King -> King Might of Qi
Reminds me of the good'ol dynasties, those who "criticize the imperial court rashly" are getting lynched. The males in the family would be beheaded, while females and kids would be sold as slaves.
And in order to show the mercy of his imperial majesty, the execution of the males would be delayed to autumn.
