    Realistically what is the worst thing China is doing with your private data? Selling it? If you’re not a Chinese National, at least you don’t fall under their jurisdiction.

    If you’re a U.S. citizen, with all the tech oligarchs cozying up to the current administration, I’d be a lot more concerned with Facebook/Twitter/Etc collecting your data.

      The CCP is significantly more oppressive, gives zero shits about human rights or trademarks or really anyone at all. The US at least pretends to care.

        Based on what? The US imprisons more people, kills more people, tortures more people. The only way to argue that China is more oppressive is basically to start with the assumption they are and then work backwards to justify it.

          I listed a handful of reasons above, of which no one has denied or refuted. Just downvoted.

            Actually you didn’t. You listed a bunch of accusations against China (which were refuted, you just ignored that), but you didn’t even try to explain how that’s more oppressive than the USA. Even if all your accusations were true, the US is still more oppressive.

              I see you are sticking with the pack here and going with generic denial and ignoring my arguments rather than actually refuting them.

                Lol, everyone can see that both I and others have refuted your arguments. You pretending you can’t see that only makes you look like a sore loser.

                    I’d say that your client must be broken, but you’re managing to reply to me, despite claiming you can’t see my posts.

        The US is in the process of deporting all its migrants and threatening invasions on half the world.

        I get that gringos don’t want to own up to their complicity by inaction but you oughta stop pontificating about how other governments are worse. Unless they’re called Israel, they weren’t before and they sure as fuck aren’t now.

            Lmaooo hurting gringos feelings is being racist? Y’all have had concentration camps for longer than you’ve been without them, you know their fucking addresses and they’re still there.

            Do forgive me for throwing y’all’s opinions on racism in the dustbin.

            For the past week the people of China and the United States, as well as other countries have been comparing notes. Debunking propaganda on both sides. Realizing that much of what we’ve all been told for years/decades, has been lies.

                For starters, that the Uyghur genocide is yet another piece of atrocity propaganda from the US. We know what a genocide looks like and how it’s impossible to hide in the modern world, as Gaza showed.

                Blurry satellite pictures of buildings and a German fascist swearing it for ten pages (financed by Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin) isn’t proof.

      Realistically what is the worst thing China is doing with your private data?

      Probably mapping out the extended support networks of democratic activists in Taiwan to prepare to throw them in jail after a forcible military takeover.

        So democratic activists in Taiwan have extensive networks in the US?

        I mean, you said it.

            Networks with a foreign actor undermining national sovereignty, which financed several massacres in your country

              My country? Not sure what you’re talking about but I know that Taiwan deserves sovereignty. You don’t? Surely you’re not pro imperialism…

                I meant in Taiwan but tbh throw a dart at a globe and if you don’t land in the ocean there’s an 80% chance the US has sponsored a massacre there.

                  Yep. Pretty off topic though… Thought this was a thread about a Chinese app. You know, the country that’s trying to steal Taiwan, aka imperialism. Just like how the US, England, Russia etc do. It’s actually wrong even if it’s the authoritarian govt you’re rooting for.

                    Y’all literally brought it up, you don’t get to go “uhhh off topic much?” when you say dumb shit.

                    Taiwan is China, both governments agree on this as well as all other countries in the world, including the US (officially). The only disagreement is on which is the legitimate government of ALL OF CHINA.

                    If you think the RoC is the legitimate government of China you need to stop huffing paint or reading CNN.
