Or does the operating system or ‘WeChat’ immediately report it to the government?

Maybe someone here can say something about this. Gladly also about ‘Briar’.

    Did you even read the article you linked? The only concrete claim this article makes as to government monitoring citizens’ internet activity is that services are required to log user data (messages sent, browsing history) for around 6 months. This is literally standard practice around the world.

        Now if you will excuse me I’m going to go to Facebook for my daily rants about TikTok harvesting my data.

            Confession but at one point for a while I actually bought into the data scare about TikTok. I still don’t use it but that’s mostly because I don’t really like it’s format or the way a lot of the videos are cut because it destroys my ability to pay attention. My wife shares them with me but I usually can’t visually watch and have to listen because the jumpcuts that a lot of the content creators do just sends me to attention deficit hell.

                I don’t know if I actually have ADHD or possibly on the spectrum so it’s basically a self diagnosis. My wife thinks I’m probably ASD(and after doing a few online assessmentsi agree) but I shouldn’t really claim either without a proper diag I guess. I was mostly meaning that it kills any chance I had of paying attention to the video lol.
