lmao I saw that post yesterday and that exact comment made me roll my eyes. there was another post on r/linux yesterday asking if Deepin linux (Chinese linux distro) is safe and all the comments are some variation of “It’s CHINESE so you know it’s filled with spyware.” There’s even a few comments like “I would rather be spied on by the US than the Chinese.”
btw don’t read that linked thread if you don’t want to be exposed to classic Reddit-style Dunning–Kruger smugness
yea I’ve made this point before; even if I assume China is spying on me, wtf are they gonna do with this information? Send me a letter like “hey we saw you looking up a guide on how to beat the last boss of final fantasy 4 you motherfucker.” On the other hand I live in the US and my government has a history of spying on its citizens and using that information to make their life a living hell
Blackmail them into betraying their country, obviously. Especially with all the security clearance they have as a checks blackmail notes cryptocurrency investment specialist.

Logically speaking, American privacy data is useless to China, but it is useful to the United States.
