He’s a billionaire, who’s in trouble with regulators for public ally flouting their regulations. Maybe it’s a good idea to stfu for a few months until it’s settled.
The sentiments from some people on HN are so weird about this. Everyone wants to screw the big bad tech companies for having so much monopolies on what we do, until China does it then it’s “oh no big bad government takes down billionaire.”
Unbelievable
- whomst 6y agoI can choose to not use Google, Facebook, etc and market forces still are a factor here. I can't choose to not be born in China, and there is much more friction to leaving China than not using tech products by these companies.

- Hnrobert42 6y agoHow do you know what he is in trouble for? All we know is what the CCP-controlled media tells us.
- volgo 6y agoHow do you know he’s even in trouble? Because a bunch of western journalists haven’t seen him personally for a few weeks?
- Hnrobert42 6y agoAre you really trying to draw an equivalence between Western journalists and CCP media outlets?

- Hnrobert42 6y agoAbout what was I wrong?
- j-krieger 6y agoThis is untrue. He is still the CEO of Ant Group, and was set to appear in a "Lion's Den" type show earlier this month.
