> content access and moderation to meet local standards

what a nice way to say forcing a backdoor to identify, spy on, and oppress citizens.

but yeah I guess oppression of people is a "high bar" for foreign operators to meet.

backdoors are wrong here and are wrong there.

We can't have people doing things like searching for Tiananman Square or Mao Zedong or talking about how Taiwan and Hong Kong want complete independence from China.

I'm sure a big part of the cost is the additional infrastructure and manpower to implement all of China's censorship, tracking, etc.
