And y'all thought China having your data was something to be afraid of.
Curious why you are so comfortable with that?
I never said I was comfortable with it, but you clearly missed the point I was making.
Worry about what data is being harvested in your own country where a law change can suddenly put you in danger of being arrested before worrying about China having some of your data.
Is it bad how much data the Chinese govt get from you using apps like Tik Tok or phones made by Huawei? Sure, but the threat is a lot closer to home than you think as this article shows.
Here's a novel concept - we're against our government doing it too, obviously. I don't know why you think we wouldn't be, this is the stupidest divorced from reality gotcha take
Lol get it all out bro.

China spying is a problem for your government, your government spying is your problem.
