I trust Google with my data way more than I trust any Chinese based company. If Daddy Xi asks for a Chinese company's data, he gets that company's data. I would even trust Meta or X with my data more, and I have roughly zero trust with Meta/X.

But Daddy Xi can't hurt you in US. Daddy NSA gets google data just as easy, and next day you suicide with 2 shots to back of the head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb

I'd trust China with it more because they're 7,000 miles away and don't have jurisdiction over me.

Sounds like you need to learn to mask your data then, can't steal anything if it's all obfuscated. And I stand to my point, after spending the past 4 days just chatting with regular Chinese folk a lot of things I've heard over here just stopped making sense.

Believe it or not, they're regular people too (Crazy I know) And no matter what your stance is on it, it's undeniable the US govt has a massive hate boner for both China and Russia, and has a vested interest in shit talking them, the people I'm talking to are coming to the same realization that Americans aren't all rich and greedy, and that kind of cultural exchange is priceless and infinitely wholesome.

who knows I may try to break into the Russian internet sphere next and see what else I'm missing out on.

You're not going to believe this, but China has a vested interest in shit-talking the US as well and they do so on a regular basis.

Hmm... I've never seen China and Bernie in the same room. Do they say the stuff Bernie says?
