It’s obviously more of a problem when a government that actually has agency over you harvests your data. If you can’t even understand this, then you’re truly lost.
I don’t know about you, but if I must leak my private data like a sieve to use the internet, I’d much rather that data go to a government that isn’t governing me!
A government that isn’t governing you … yet and that has no ambitions (/s) to take over as much power as possible in the country you live in, you mean?
Ahh yes, I should be worried about how they could in the future, do something while my current government can make me a fucking slave, legally if they decide to.
Look, I don’t know which country you live in but if you’re worried it might make you a slave, you should riot (if at all possible, that is). Be part of the opposition.
So what…?
Not everybody is living in the “default country” and also, with the US we see how well it all works for them and how slavery is not a thing there at all.
Wow, you said you didn’t know which country had legalized slavery, and I answered and you turned into an obstinate asshole for some reason. What a weird way to behave!
Since the days the first settlers landed here, the backbone of the US economy has been forced labor. It’s only natural that we would enshrine it in our constitution.
They (not just China - any country, in fact) don’t have to do anything to you. But they can in such a way influence you to go against your own country’s policies directed towards these countries, for example. That’s the reality when a country choose to be a foe instead of a friend - they’ll get extra paranoid to think that the other country have everything planned to go against them, which ended up to be a reality as a consequence of retaliatory measures by these new foes.
TikTok enacted a very obvious influence campaign to fight this legislation that resulted in congressional phone lines becoming jammed. So what China can do is directly influence our laws.
I mean let’s be honest, that’s slightly better than US companies plus the Chinese Communist Party being able to do so.
Not having the choice is slightly worse I’d say.
They still can, they just have to go back to buying that data lmao

The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Damn I thought private prisons were a loophole and not in the constitution to punish people with slave labor.

Everybody Sucks Here
What can China do to you? You don’t live there.

Because your government can use the information against you while a government on the other side of the planet can’t.
Used to be true. See countries affecting populations in foreign countries. Propaganda is not local.
Because definitionally, fewer people doing a bad thing is better than more people doing a bad thing?
