I don’t know about you, but if I must leak my private data like a sieve to use the internet, I’d much rather that data go to a government that isn’t governing me!
A government that isn’t governing you … yet and that has no ambitions (/s) to take over as much power as possible in the country you live in, you mean?
I don’t think you’d like ruining your social score by hanging out too much on lemmy and as a result losing access to movies/streaming/games, driving cars and your dog.
Look, I don’t know which country you live in but if you’re worried it might make you a slave, you should riot (if at all possible, that is). Be part of the opposition.
Since the days the first settlers landed here, the backbone of the US economy has been forced labor. It’s only natural that we would enshrine it in our constitution.
So what…?
Not everybody is living in the “default country” and also, with the US we see how well it all works for them and how slavery is not a thing there at all.
“So what?” Unbelievable. You get told Amerika is still a nation of chattel slavery and all you can say about it is ‘so what’? That’s my community, my people they’re bundling off into modern-day slavery, day by day by fucking day where they’re not chalking us out on the fuckin asphalt, and all you can say is ‘so what’.
I hope your mf country collapses. Return to the fuckin dirt with you.
Wow, you said you didn’t know which country had legalized slavery, and I answered and you turned into an obstinate asshole for some reason. What a weird way to behave!
It’s obviously more of a problem when a government that actually has agency over you harvests your data. If you can’t even understand this, then you’re truly lost.
TikTok enacted a very obvious influence campaign to fight this legislation that resulted in congressional phone lines becoming jammed. So what China can do is directly influence our laws.
I mean let’s be honest, that’s slightly better than US companies plus the Chinese Communist Party being able to do so.

I hope the CPC takes power here in burgerland. Maybe then the place would stop being a shit hole.

America defended. You get +1 FICO credit score. You can now afford air conditioning for 2 hours.
I have enough hate for both governments, no worries.
No you don’t. Not a single misbegotten anglo son in the west has ever meant the former when they say “neither washington nor beijing”.

The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Damn I thought private prisons were a loophole and not in the constitution to punish people with slave labor.

E: ah, wait, German. That makes sense.
negl current-day krauts might be as bad as yankees
They still can, they just have to go back to buying that data lmao
Everybody Sucks Here

Not having the choice is slightly worse I’d say.
What can China do to you? You don’t live there.

Because your government can use the information against you while a government on the other side of the planet can’t.
Used to be true. See countries affecting populations in foreign countries. Propaganda is not local.
Because definitionally, fewer people doing a bad thing is better than more people doing a bad thing?
