    This meme is a bit dishonest because its about Chinese government harvesting this data not about companies harvesting it. Both are bad but ones substantially worse.

      Yeah, if China wants the data of Americans they should buy it from American companies, not harvest it themselves.

      They’re not mad about leaking data, they’re mad that China is drinking their milkshake.

      American companies have way more power over my life than the Chinese government

      How the Chinese government having my (Westerner’s in a NATO country) data is any worse than Western (and thus subpoenable by the Western governments) corporations having it?

        Cause somebody is selling the Chinese king false dreams of invading America. And maybe having documents on every American citizen would be helpful post invasion.

            You’re on the same “Risk Board game” like the rest of us. If you’re not in the American sphere of influence then NSA is just taking all your metadata the harder way.
