Only US tech companies can harvest all that data from their products, I mean, customers.

I mean let’s be honest, that’s slightly better than US companies plus the Chinese Communist Party being able to do so.

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!

[-] Schorsch@feddit.de 16 points 11 months ago

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?

They still can, they just have to go back to buying that data lmao

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.

What can China do to you? You don't live there.

Problems with this app go beyond just privacy and bleed into national security.

You as a citizen of your country have an obligation to not freely offer yourself up as an attack vector for cybercriminals all so you could fry your brain with garbage media.

[-] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

As if all these other social medias don't have garbage media or propaganda
