I feel like pointing fingers at China is kinda missing the point that we are not legislating collection of user data because it is also a major source of revenue for non-chinese software companies.
Yes, but China is strongly using this as a propaganda tool, e.g., by censoring any content that is not aligned with the CCP’s ‘official’ narrative. I know that ‘the West’ does that also once in a while, but by far not to that extent. You can criticize the U.S. or the EU or any government on social media without consequences.
That said, I’d say it is irrelevant whether or not it is a source of revenue, may it be for Chinese or non-Chinese companies. I don’t use these tools bc I don’t want to be spied on 24/7. But that’s just my opinion, there is a large clientel out there for such media.
Yes it is. Republicans CONSTANTLY tow Russian propaganda lines and say directly fascist things. Republicans want to drop support of Ukraine, which directly puts all of Europe at risk.
Trump is LITERALLY QUOTING HITLER, but nooo, the US doesn’t have a fascist propaganda problem… Fucking grow up and open your eyes. and also your ears, apparently.

I mean, American data collection is a security issue and propaganda platform too (I say as an American, BTW).
