OpenClaw is a new AI agent that has become very popular in China. It is different from chatbots. It can read emails, manage schedules, and make payments for users.
The Chinese government is worried about OpenClaw. It can access email and bank accounts. This means it could expose personal and financial information. In China, people call using OpenClaw "raising lobsters" because of its lobster mascot.
The government warned users to be careful. They should check permissions and limit what OpenClaw can access. They should treat it like a digital employee and keep it secure.
