On a personal level, yes, I'd be much less concerned with China having my data than my own government.

On a national scale? Well, I certainly do not want an adversary with an interest in overtaking the U.S. have both data and means to manipulate the opinions of its citizens.

I see, so America should block and filter content its government judges to be adversarial. Shall we call it the great freedom firewall?

How is that any different from the US itself. People seem to have forgotten the WMD lie...

One is my government, one is a hostile government. Why do you suggest they are the same? Why do you imply I approve of the US doing it too?

Your argument leans on whataboutism.

Or the COVID lies, but most aren't willing to admit they got fooled again like they did with WMDs.

Cambridge Analytica and Trump 2016? I think they leveraged US companies.
