What about this false equivalency between China and the US? Even in a worse case scenario, data being taken by US intelligence is given SOME form of oversight. If you believe the US and China are similarly free, I invite you to tell me if you feel like you’re as free in New York City and San Francisco as Shanghai or Shenzen.
If you don’t think living in those two locations is equivalent, then why do you argue the data collection is the same.
Internationally, the US has burned, bombed, tortured, and assassinated the idea of equivalency out of existence.
If the problem is the behaviour of social media companies in general, legislate against that. Take note that it's not the conversation that's being had and that the people steering it have made their agenda, and ignorance, rather clear.
