The specific laws vary of course, but a person cannot receive work related income from a foreign entity without reporting it correctly, both in the country in which the company is located and the country in which the employee is located. Even within the EU for example, with its freedom of movement for people, goods, and capital, cross border income must be correctly accounted for by both parties.
This is just a sovereign government doing what all sovereign nations do. If nations didn't do this the consequences for even just tax collection would be immense, not to mention the many other negatives.
There's no need to throw China bashing into every subject under the stars just because that's apparently what counts for journalism these days.
No. I don't trust the Swiss. They're tied up with US intelligence and they'll do anything for money (that's why they're always neutral). I've gotten shit on here before for saying Protonmail might be a honeypot but I'm sticking by it.
All countries will confiscate illegally obtained income. Want to work cross-border? Do it with the proper visas, permissions, tax reporting, residencies, etc. There's no story here, just more China hate to help beat the drums of war.
I can't recommend a self hosted SearXNG instance enough.
DDG uses Bing as a search backend last I checked, and the founder/CEO is spoke in favour of censoring search results that don't match with his worldview.
This is my shocked face 🥱
How about we just list all of the imperial tech giants which don't have backdoors and who don't spy on users of their products.
A headset should be perfectly happy running on an old USB 1.1 interface though, the bandwidth requirements are very low.
