I find it funny when libs say not to buy Chinese phones because they "may" send data to the CPC (because they connect to the internet from time to time, so scary!)

What can the CPC do worse than my own government can't? Like you should be more scared of the government you live under, not one that's some 3000 miles away or whatever.

Don't buy Apple, it leaks data to the CIA.

3000 miles away or whatever

Fun fact, the closest distance from mainland USA to China is still over 7000 miles, the lower 48 is around 3000 miles coast to coast. (Don't worry, I totally understand the rest of the comment, I just figured I'd provide additional context to point out just how preposterous the original joke is)
