i'd rather be spied on by an allied country, or my own, than a somewhat hostile country.
I’d rather just not be spied on lol
Real shit, right here
You’re right and me neither, and as much as I don’t want my home address to be public, I’m sure there are people it would be WORSE to have know it than others. US companies acting how they do is unacceptable, but they can at least (if they have scruples) say fuck off to the government assuming we aren’t living in a truly renegade government. The meme here is correct and I think we should hold companies to a higher standard, but acting like every government is equal or the CCP isn’t immediately scarier than the US government doesn’t seem helpful to me.
I love Chinese people, I love their culture, I grew up there, I do not love their government.
same, but people usually say the shit you just memed about to justify tiktok's spying. no one here is arguing for meta and co, the fediverse is actively against them, so why aren't we also allowed to be against tiktok?
I'd rather be spied on by a far away country than by one with armed bastards on my street
If you're being honest to yourself, when your own country is spying on you it might have a bigger impact on you than a country you might visit for a week or never.
You're delusional if you think China isn't hostile to the US and its citizens
....why?
I'd rather not be spied on.
