US firms in HK may ban own AI models, forcing VPN use
bytebot · x · 2026-08-16
Commenting on news about Singapore using AI access to retain finance talent, the author argues that given the ubiquity of VPNs, this strategy is odd—unless it involves US firms with branches in Hong Kong explicitly instructing employees "not to use American models while you're in Hong Kong."
The author notes that such internal corporate policies restricting local access to their own cloud services/AI models due to compliance or regional reasons are a known occurrence.
