minus-squareBuelldozer@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up7·8 months agoFair enough. https://www.zdnet.com/article/chinese-man-arrested-after-making-1-6-million-from-selling-vpn-services/ That one details several such cases and includes links to local coverage from Litchi News from one of them. Then there’s this showing that the CCP banned unregistered VPNs in 2017. It’s partially why they prosecuted the people in the previous article. https://www.neowin.net/news/china-will-block-vpn-access-for-individuals-companies-must-register-with-the-government/ If you don’t like that then here’s The Guardian with a separate incident: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/22/man-in-china-sentenced-to-five-years-jail-for-running-vpn Seriously, I can find articles like that detailing different incidents in every major mainstream media source. So either all of them are lying to me -or- you are trying to gaslight me. Guess which one I think is more probable?
