    Do you have a source for that claim? And what state-controlled VPN services?

      lol. I AM the source. DM me with your LinkedIn handle, I’ll connect with you to validate my identity and you can tell anybody else watching that the story is legit. I don’t want to spill too many details in public as I don’t want to involve my old company in it.

      And in terms of “state controlled VPN” services, it’s not that the Chinese state runs honeypot VPNs for companies (though they most definitely do for their own citizens), but that to have a license to operate a cloud service in China, you have to enforce CSL and that means they get private companies, western too, to do their bidding. If you encrypt data, you’ll get a stern call (as we did).

        LOL so it’s completely made up then, as I thought.

          I’ve literally given you a way to feel more confident, all you have to take it. But no, you’d rather live in ignorance it seems.
