It's bit of both. I still wouldn't trust Chinese tech. Huawei tech is involved in surveiling the African Union headquarters.. This not to minimise US' own corruption and digital imperialism, although I think the EU is in the right step to use open source software to replace American tech.
I would trust China before Elon fucking Musk.
Just because US is going on temper tantrum it doesn't mean people have to forget that China is doing its own Orwellian surveillance.
An acceptable price for living under a government that actually controls its capitalist billionaires rather than being controlled by them.
And it’s not like China’s surveillance is any more Orwellian than the West’s. They just do it more openly.
It's pretty bad everywhere but people don't realize the level of surveillance in China is on a whole other fucking level.
All tech is used as such. You think Apple and Microsoft and Android aren't selling your data to the government? Hmmm...
Amazon literally allows police and ICE access to your Ring camera and Alexa recordings at will. They don’t even have to make a request, Amazon built an app so they can have access to any of it immediately.
That's what I said basically. US is doing its own digital imperialism. The difference is that the US government outsourced the Orwellian surveillance to techbros.
