    So, as far as I understand, he was fined 3 years salary for doing the job he was hired to do (I consider using Google/Github as part of the job).

    Utterly horrifying. Especially when you realize that merely accessing Google is illegal in China…

      As I understand it, he was fined exactly the amount he earned over 3 years of a job where he was using a VPN.

        Oh, in that case it’s not horrifying at all. Who doesn’t keep 3 years of past salary in their checking account for the occasional rainy day?

    The ruling has spooked many in China’s IT and Web3 circles

    Won’t someone think of the poor crypto bros! Lmao.

      We’ve got a team of 100 devs working on EdTech software in China. This affects more than crypto bros.

        Well yes, but it’s weird that the article mentions Web3 in particular.

      I don’t know what web3 is doing there, but I imagine this is terrifying if you’re doing IT for western companies in China.
