Turns out, when the elite of society works against their own people to enrich themselves, the (rational) people realize they owe you neither trust or allegiance. Can’t have it both ways.

Nothing wrong with a little competition, amirite?

    The question isn’t whether or not it is safe. It’s whether or not it is less safe than US counterparts.

    Given that US counterparts are doubling down on fascist insanity, I’d argue giving the Chinese your data is the lesser of evils at the moment.

    But intrinsically: stop using corpo social media.

      China isn’t going to do anything to me if I call Xi Whinnie the Pooh and say Tienanmen Square happened.

      America could (read: would if Trump wants to) arrest me for being queer, an anarchist, atheist, autistic/mentally ill, poor, or something else.

      China hurting me would make international headlines. Trump’s America hurting me would make Fox News ratings sky rocket as Trump “made america great again”.
