It’s completely free for the casual user who just wants to mess around, as long as they don’t use it for commercial work. Almost all features supported, except external renderers and certain geometry exports. There are some great free tutor

They added fact-checks to two of Lijian Zhao’s tweets yesterday. Not sure if that counts as a crackdown, but it’s a high level account. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52833063

I'd heard another interesting angle to this - that the Google/Apple notification scheme is decentralized, but users can only test C-19 positive via a central authority. Meanwhile the NHSX notification scheme is centralized, but us
