I emailed the embassy office a few weeks ago telling them I was a teacher and asking if they had any literature or materials about the PRC and the CPC. This is what they sent me. Looking forward to it.

the surveillance-denier has logged on 🤦
fyi all postal mail in the US is scanned and OCR’d and that data is stored indefinitely.
while it is true that there simply aren’t enough humans on earth to manually review all of the data that the various US surveillance apparatuses continuously collect, that doesn’t mean that the collection isn’t happening or that it is inconsequential. the data is automatically machine-analyzed and used for automated decisions, and is also made searchable, so, specific bits of information can be accessed by humans years later.
i’m all for making informed decisions to exercise one’s privilege and choosing to not let fear of surveillance stop you from associating with people or ordering books on the internet, but you aren’t doing anyone a favor by telling them that the surveillance isn’t happening.
Yes, I’m aware.
“Machine-analyzed” “Automated decisions” “searchable”
Again, this means nothing.
You don’t know what you’re looking for with that system. You can’t read through everything. You can’t get all the details.
lmao
