that data goes to the US government instead of to the CCP

Going to blow people’s minds when they find out Temu data also goes to the US government and Facebook data also goes to the CCP.

This shit is just a commodity. It’s auctioned off at the bid rate. The NSA doesn’t just lay claim to this data, it buys it. And these Big Data companies are only handing it over because of the absurd margins NSA (and MI5 and the rest of the Five Eyes) directors are willing to pay.

Your data isn’t any safer because the parent company is owned by a foreign plutocrat. This is a big club and you ain’t in it.

Oh no, I’m not under any illusion that my data is safer with any of them lol. I’m just saying that that’s why the US doesn’t ban American social networks/companies. Because it’s all about control.
