Let's be honest: Google has been known to be in bed with the NSA and other agencies as well. It's very disingenuous to pretend Google only serves you ads but has no relations to the US national intelligence community but Chinese apps do.
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...
Otherwise it is just ZOG theory.
Also, the statement about “being in bed” is very vague and non informative.
