I have seen a lot post talking about how Chinese companies collect US citizens data but I never seen a Chinese person complain about it. Do they think US doesn’t have the power to abuse that data?

Really curious

    Because they’re probably dealing with their version of surveillance from CCP. It would be interesting to hear conversations from privacy experts and advocates over there, and share experiences of what we’re all dealing with.

    Probably for the same reason I’m not concerned about Chinese companies collecting my (US) data – what the hell are they going to do with it? I already know all the terrible things that my local/national companies and state/federal government are doing with citizens’ collected data; there’s real, well-known risk there. Compared to local actors, foreign ones are not nearly as incentivized to do anything with it.

      Most naive comment i have read today. Foreign countries do heavily influence politics based on collected data. So does the US, so does China, so does Russia.
