"Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies," she added.
And that's different to American companies how? None of this climate of data harvesting is currently good for us.

There isn't much more depth to it than this. BTW even Lemmy is sadly suffering from the same brainrot.

But American companies harvesting our data and sending it straight into the hands of the Trump administration and his harem of tech whores like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman are a-okay.
