Technology companies flagrant nationality and residence restrictions recruitment events you heard of it? Recently, this incident really happened.
Google invested by the world's second largest open source hosting platform GitLab in its official website issued a statement saying they decided to team members have access to customer data enable the "work-family country / regional blockade" order , and said that in the current geopolitical environment, this is the most humane solution .
And this "blocking order" for the two countries are: China and Russia .
Updated in the recruitment process clearly states:
GitLab not be available to offer Chinese / Russian citizens
Employees who have access to customer data, now can not be moved to China or Russia
GitLab openly reject the Chinese and the Russians, how do you see? Ji-won AI to new circle of friends to talk about your point of view:
User mixed: Some people boast high GitLab transparency, some people call "mentally handicapped policy"
--Gitlab show of transparency in this matter really surprising (compliment). Even as a reader will read the illusion of being leaked internal document, rather than a conscious decision public. Although some sensitive discussions, but really useful.
--Thank you! We do intend to maintain transparency in the launch of "tough decision."
- Congratulations step in the right direction! Although the pace of a step is unlikely. Like the others did not take the threat seriously, I can understand the whole problem facing prone sense of resistance. A man from China, have family in China, abide by Chinese laws, these things do not eliminate it came to the United States to get the green card, the threat to the United States caused.
——在中国、不来自中国，前者容易判断，但后者很难判断，而且很容易被视作无根据的歧视。
——确切地说，这确实是歧视，但不是种族主义，比如说你仍然可以雇佣日本开发者，如果中国政局变化，你也可以雇佣中国开发者。不过，联邦法律禁止藉由源国际的歧视。在美国定居的中国开发者仍然受到中国的控制，我个人对藉由源国籍的歧视是有保留意见的，但另一方面，确保任何形式的重要数据的安全也不能忽视。
——简直是弱智的政府出台的弱智政策。
对于中国雇员来说，如果他们所做的任何事情都会经过中国政府管控下的网络，那么这个决定很可能导致的结果就是，企业的知识产权会被共享给在中国的竞争对手。更不用说相关的访问权限可能会受到破坏了。
GitLab恐将彻底失去中国开发者用户
作为主流代码托管平台，GitLab被公认是GitHub的竞争对手。
GitLab于2011年推出，虽晚于GitHub，但也赢得了不少开发者用户。
GitLab 由乌克兰程序员 Dmitriy Zaporozhets 和 Valery Sizov 开发，最初由 Ruby 写成。后来，一些部分用 Go 语言重写。
截止 2018 年 5 月，该公司约有 290 名团队成员，以及 2000 多名开源贡献者。GitLab 被 IBM，Sony，Jülich Research Center，NASA，Alibaba，Invincea，O’Reilly Media，Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ)，CERN[7][8][9]，SpaceX 等组织使用。
最近GitLab宣布获得2.68亿E轮融资，估值已高达27.5亿美元。其网站上也公然贴出了预计上市日期：2020年11月18日。
然而，这几天，GitLab可谓不断惹是生非。就在两周前，GitLab宣布变更服务条款，在用户行为数据分析中引入第三方服务，会将用户行为数据发送给第三方进行分析。这一改动在过去一周引发了Gitlab用户和社区开发者的强烈不满和抗议。以至于GitLab CEO不得不亲自发布公开信致歉。
在GitHub被微软以75亿美元收购后，GitLab顺势推出了从 GitHub 迁移到GitLab的工具，当时无论是Project还是Repository都瞬间迎来了迁移高峰。
GitHub被微软收购之后的一段时间，GitLab曾经口碑高涨，作为“另一个”为程序员托管源代码的地方被更多开发者接纳。然而，此次歧视事件发生，它恐怕将彻底失去中国开发者用户。
