    The problem is saying that it’s bad if it’sa Chinese company but ok if it’s a US company. This is a racist and anti globalist policy.

      Its not ok when it’s an American company, and America has a long way to go on this.

      However, enforcement is impossible when China is the one controlling it. There is no limit to what they are allowed to do with the data.

      China is banning any Chinese personal data from leaving the country because they are afraid we would handle the data the same way they do foreign data.

      Race has nothing to do with it. Dictatorship does. It’s bad if any dictatorship or unfriendly country does it.

        China also has influence on other platforms. I don’t think that’s that big on an issue.

        The problem is privacy not China
