    This article is years old now, but I have got great mileage out of sending it people who say “I’d never buy a Chinese car - the Chinese government will spy on you” like if China wants to spy on me, fine! Every other fucker does, join the party. At least the Chinese won’t sell my data like Mercedes will.

      I seriously do not understand being afraid of China spying on me over ANYTHING American.

      The worst a chinese device is gonna do is leak that I’m a furry leftist to my conservative family.

      The worst an american device is gonna do is lead the SS to shoot me because I think we should have healthcare.

      These are sooooo obviously the same we must ban chinese devices and software forever. /s

        libbing-out some vague statement about how China will use you to undermine our great glorious democratic republic by tricking you into hating it then the second comment states that the glorious republic is currently far worse then china in every metric
