Hong Kong seems an odd choice. Or at least a short sighted choice. Right now its an ok place to operate but given the slow erosion of Hong Kong's independence will it still be in 1 year? 5 years?

Aside from what everyone else has stated on these comments, unless they remove all Australian staff it won't matter, they can still be compelled to do whatever the aus govt wants.

Uhhh “security legislation in Australia is scary, let’s move to ... chine?” (I recognize HK is special, but let’s be real: China can make HK do whatever it wants)

It's really strange that Microsoft, Amazon and Apple and Google seem to be OK with the Australian laws. I would have expected them to pull out too.

Tried them once. Their windows app by default only connects at 128 bit encryption! Had a chat with their CS and they tried to convince 128 bit is enough. Stopped after the trial.

Does this law apply to Attlasian as well? Their stock price is not concerned.
