So it is not ok for a foreign app the spy on its user but it's perfectly ok for Google and co to do so? Anyone remember what Uber did with their app and tracking users? What about the king of tracking, facebook?
Chinese spying is like 10000 times worse in practice.
But in theory, when dealing in absolutes, there is no difference, both are spies.
Otherwise it is just ZOG theory.
Also, the statement about “being in bed” is very vague and non informative.
Yes, both countries are definitely spying on people via social media apps. But what they're using it for is different.
I'm not here to argue the Chinese government is better than the US one. It's absolutely and unquestionably worse.
But from a perspective in Europe they're both foreign governments that I have no say in and that are not here for my best interest.
I don't think this is entirely accurate...
Not always about ads. Remember Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
