How do you feel about 996?

Recently there is a hot debate in China about companies implementing 996 policies. Even Alibaba founder Jack Ma involves in this controversy discussion. Basically 996 means working from 9am to 9pm a day and 6 days a week. This policy is largely considered as depriving the personal time of employees. Many people think this violates the law and companies should stop doing this while others think that people can choose to leave if they don't agree the company policy. 996 is common now in China, especially in tech companies. Chinese programmers have created a GitHub repo to track 996 companies and discussions. https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU. What do you think about it? What if you are asked to work 996, would you like to do it? If you are an employer, what's your opinion?
