Americans when Canadians say they’d prefer TikTok spying vs an American company:
but seriously. I want no one to have my data, but if someone HAD to have it, I would prefer TikTok over anything from Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc…
My country wont export me to China if I post something negative or pirate something. My country will export me to the US if they come banging on my door. I am quite literally safer letting China have a bit of my data.
Don’t worry the illegally operating Chinese police station in your city will just come and get you. No need to be exported, you get to be questioned and held by a foreign officer without any direct oversight in your own country!
The point
your head
The point being that the US even if aggressive uses the proper channels to pursue action against entities it believes to be dangerous?
How is that worse than China illegally and secretively doing the exact same thing within your own borders they promised to respect.
I DO NOT WANT MY DATA ON AMERICAN SERVERS.
I DO NOT WANT MY DATA ON AMERICAN SERVERS.

Nobody cares.

I’m not talking about that. Please stay on topic. My simple statement is true, and doesn’t mean that I love China. I don’t. You’ll never catch me ever talking positive about China or ever stepping foot in China.

America is guilty of everything Americans accuse China about.
its almost like foreign governments collecting information about your population is a bad thing for your people and your government, or something.
It’s worse for the US to have my data as a Canadian than China. America can come for me, and my country would hand me over. China can’t do shit to me.
America would lose all standing in global politics and the global economy if they invaded Canada without very strong reason. If the US started a war with China tomorrow, half the world, Canada included, would either do nothing or join them.
They’re talking about extradition
Wtf does that have to do with anything? Were talking about large scale spying not infringing on American copyrights.
… And when they are spying, and see something they don’t like, they CAN come for me. Canadian government won’t stop them.
I don’t want a shitty country like America to spy on me. Sorry. America is not as great as Americans act like it is.
Like I’ve said, I want no one to spy on me. But if I had to pick, I’d pick China because it makes me safer. Not because I’d like it. I wouldn’t. Fuck spying.
Yeah, the US is really gunna come after you because…? Right, there is no way your government would give you over without actual evidence.
It seems like you don’t understand the point.
I also think it’s really weird that Americans are replying to me being really defensive over other countries not preferring to give America all their data.
Like I said, America isn’t as great as Americans think it is. The rest of the world doesn’t want their data funneled into America. I’m sorry if this is how you’re finding out that America isn’t number one.
I’m really not trying to be a dick or argue, I just don’t get how you don’t understand the basic concept that Canada will hand me over to the US, but won’t hand me over to China.
It’s also frustrating that you guys think that if I don’t agree with America having my data, that I love China? I don’t. Never said I did. I hate both places having my data. I hate my own country having my data. It’s not all black and white.
God I was hoping the Tankys wouldn’t run here full speed after reddit shut down, but looks like that ship already sailed.
Now do American politicians when an elementary school is attacked by a gunman.
There’d be nothing for the top box.
