      That’s the point: I don’t even know the name of the Chinese agency I would even theoretically need to worry about.

        Back when Grindr was owned by a Chinese company there was concerns that data from the platform could be used to blackmail western politicians and civil servants.

        I can’t remember the details but my point is - just because you don’t live in China it doesn’t mean you’re risk free.

          I’m neither a politician nor a civil servant, and if I were, as a leftist, I’d be more threatened by Trump having my data than Xi Jinping.

          Do I just keep repeating this or…?

          Edit: yeah, as yourself point out: the threat China poses is giving your data to your government. lol

          I find your inability to understand why an American is more afraid of ICE than a Chinese government agency really perplexing.

          But, in honor of your concern, I will forthwith carry a rock that keeps away Chinese agents.

            that’s. not. what. you. were. saying.

            you are just ignorant and proud of it.
