      Indeed, it’s useful to China for blackmail, but they’d have a much harder time rolling me up in the US than the US government. And it’s likely hardly worth the effort to the extent they might try.

      Absolutely. I 100% prefer the Chinese to have all my data. I am a nothing person with no political power so if China wants to surveil me and train datasets with my data, cool. Because the alternative is the US and five eyes having that data and I absolutely do not want that.

      Unfortunately it makes you look like the crazy uncle in the tinfoil hat if you try to bring it up. It’s so outlandishly crazy like a Hollywood movie people don’t believe it’s real.
