    I'm always fascinated by the people who think their Huawei phone is going to put them into some sort of Chinese extraordinary rendition database when we literally have powerpoint slides from the NSA which demonstrate they've been doing this in collaboration with every major US technology firm for 20 years.

    If we were to accept the worldview of these people - that the US is a liberal democratic utopia and China is fascist - I'd still rather be spied on by the guys way over there than the people who could cut my break lines in the middle of the night.

        US companies have the option to tell the government to fuck off

        At which point the feds find other ways to collect the data anyway.
