Unironically western tech companies spy on you for the US and EU governments more than Russia, China and North Korea combined ever have either on you or their own citizens.

Even Linux nowadays has distros that are dubious… If i could speak Korean and if the shitty western software i’m forced to use was compatible i’d absolutely give Redstar a try.

Also, anyone who has used any Tencent product has used Chinese software.

And wtf is the CPC going to even do with my data? I can’t even afford to go on vacation to China. It’s far more dangerous in the hands of western governments who can actually use the legal system in the country i live to punish or harass me - yes sadly i still live in this decrepit shithole we call the West - or corporations that can sell my data and target me with ads or whatever other bullshit they do to make money.
