It's really the combination Tencent and Partnership that I find a problem. These things tend to lead to closer collaboration and WeChat is a huge surveillance tool.

Sure they have access to public info anyway because everyone does. Just let them scan it themselves then.

And yes I'd feel almost the same if it was Facebook.
