As soon as Opera was acquired by the Chinese company, I told everybody to dump it ASAP.

Reddit said I was ignorant and racist because I had “no proof” that the new company was doing something wrong

I mean, yeah, just leaving it at “china bad” is still xenophobia. Tech companies in the US and other countries can be just as shady.

"Chinese bad" is xenophobia

"China = surveillance state" is the most basic of common sense
