These are teenagers - if you make a law telling them not to do something, you're just making them want to do it. There's a reason why young Russian hackers are some of the best - it's a direct result of the restrictions Putin put on the Russian internet. The CCP just made the dark web cool, and I have a feeling that once this law goes into effect, we're going to see a whole generation of Chinese hackers inspired to hone their craft as a result.
Fascinating thesis.
Russia is a dysfunctional oppressive mess.
China is a functional oppressive mess.
It makes a difference.
[Citation Needed]When I think "young Russian hackers" I think, "folks that broke into ATMs, Bitcoin scammers, and organized crime." That doesn't make them amazing hackers it just makes them unethical opportunists.
