They had a choice between complying to censorship, or refusing to play along and if necessary stop doing business in Hong Kong.
In the past, Google Search got out of China for the same reason.

I wonder if that’d work, or if the Great Firewall of China already blocks it in Hong Kong

- Comment on Elon Musk’s X can’t invent its own copyright law, judge says 3 days ago:
What about users’ copyright? Would Bright Data have to obtain permission from every user to scrap data in order to follow copyright law?
I guess this wasn’t a question raised during this lawsuit.

- Comment on Google fires 28 workers for protesting $1.2 billion Israel contract 3 weeks ago:
That’s a convenient way to make troublemakers go away. Even it some of these terminations technically have a valid justification, it gives the appearance the company is looking for an excuse to fire critics.
Protesters probably need to be more savvy and respectful, but also need better defense against retribution.

- Comment on Timeline to remove DSA support in OpenSSH 3 months ago:
Finally! I wish OpenSSH also plan making RSA optional at build time, and set a timeline for removal shifted 1 or 2 years after DSA.
We are also likely to start exploring a post-quantum signature algorithm soon and are mindful of the overall size and complexity of the key/signature code. That’s great news, if OpenSSH contributors commit to this, it may be bigger news than DSA removal.
