Crazy how even the “smarties” on here just repeat US State Dept talking points like a puppet. China might be hostile to the federal government but I have no beef with them, and I bet most of the populace doesn’t either.
It's been funny seeing everyone on red note talk about making friends with their Chinese Spy and gleefully handing over their data.
The USA government and tech companies have so thoroughly normalized spying on it's own citizens that it's simply expected and hardly even a concern anymore. People are numb to it. I think they are mostly just happy to actually get to choose who is getting the data for once.
That's right. For the savvy data holder, weighing US as a data collector vs China is an easy choice. If the US wants more people to choose it as their data collector, they should simply make a more compelling offer.
