I don't know, what I will say is: most (tech) folks would (rightly, in my opinion) trust Facebook/WhatsApp more than they would Tencent.

What does "trust" mean in this context?

I expect Tencents government data sharing to be higher, but I also don't expect Facebook's to be zero - I would also say I trust less Facebook's handling of my data and it's exposure to third parties (see ref: Cambridge Analytica) and let's not forget their experiments in changing people's moods by manipulating what they saw on their timeline.

Not saying Tencent are free from sin, but it seems to be the breaches of trust that Facebook has performed are more wide reaching...
