I know… Even with this information, I can confirm that my friend and I are both in the EU

I’m afraid I and my friend are both in the EU. Chinese companies will and do find ways…

I think this is pretty standard for Chinese companies. My friend works for one, and she doesn’t get sick days. They must come out of her holiday allowance.

She gets treated better than her Chinese counterparts, though. For Chinese public holidays, they get the day off, but are then expected to give it back to the company at the weekend

Not sure if this could work, but did you try using a VPN to log in from an EU country?

Honestly don’t know how the GDPR might affect this, but might be worth a try

Can you share where to find the android app? I can’t see it in the play store or fdroid

That sounds like a good thing.

I must admit that I can’t think of any examples of this ever being a problem though. It might also be because I’m just so used to crappy software breaking things that I’ve just come to accept it as normal

Given other comments in this thread and the reactions I’ve seen on mastodon, people are freaking out, but I just don’t understand why. Can someone more intelligent please take the time to ELI5?
