Is anyone actually surprised by this?

    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.

      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.
