no sh*t! now tell me, not that it’s correct, but what does the chinese intelligence apparatus can do to me vs. what the u.s. intelligence apparatus (which has been collecting intelligence about me since i’m alive) can do to me?
They both can and frequently do influence the information you are exposed to on social media to influence your decision making. Not you specifically, unless you someone very important, but your demographic in a broader sence. The more data they have on you, the more effective this process is.
and that’s what superpowers do, but living in a third world country i’m yet to see the chinese putsch us as the u.s. did during the cold war and beyond, with all due consequences. sorry about my lack of goodwill towards the department of state.
The funny thing is that I would realistically only care about, for example, the Russian government collecting my data if their oligarchy collaborated with my government’s oligarchy against my and the population’s interest (which I guess in this case is significantly more likely than China)
