  while understandable, if i was american i might actually prefer surveillance by foreign country. At least if i was part of group in danger like lqbt.

    At least the foreign country wont use the data to arrest and make laws against you.

      It could put you at risk if you ever travel to that country, for work or pleasure, though.

    Yeah, the worst case is they use it to influence elections. US surveillance will do that and look for “illegal” activity —for some fucked up definition of illegal.

    For example, in my state you need to give your ID to sites to look at porn. Fuck that. I don’t trust those sites with that kind of data, even if I trusted that they were trying to keep it private (which I don’t). I use a VPN to avoid this, but I’m not really sure on the legal status of that.

    Also, my political views don’t really align with the current administration (or any for that matter, but especially the current one). They’ve already made indications they’d come after people who hold opinions like mine. I trust China won’t send people after me, but I’m not sure about the US.

    For me it will depend on what that foriegn country is, how it is governed, its cultural norms, things like that.

    I don’t have more trust in Chinese government than I do American.

    How about some real privacy rights instead of making me choose my surveillers.

    It’s kinda like my google ethos, Google are already spying on me, I might as well use their phone and then Samsung aren’t spying on me as well.

  Yep, Google WiFi or Amazon Eero only. Those two definitely don’t have an incentive to log your network traffic or anything.

  It’s not only about spying but about negligence. TP-LINK routers were found with many security issues and no patches. Some accuse them of do that porpose but might be negligence. Anyway they really do have bad security

  We stand atop, adjacent to, within, underneath, and around foreign surveillance. But stand for? You bet your momma there’s no room for that.

  Nah. The Chinese surveillance company would still sell your data to the us

    Don’t worry you can just subscribe monthly to delete me and they will ask nicely for it to be removed.

    Oh wait it doesn’t actually work. Imagine if the people in charge weren’t a thousand years old.
