2 in 10 Europeans are stupid and/or Chinese/American.

I can’t speak for the Chinese, but Americans don’t trust American corporations with their data, we just don’t really have an alternative.

I think this is an example of “20% of people will say literally anything as long as it goes against the majority.”

I could have told you that

Flax_vert@feddit.uk on 13 Apr 2026 16:49 next collapse

I’d trust Chinese companies more than the US at this point

Sigh

Both are horribly bad, you don’t have to show your red flag at every opportunity y’know.

American companies want to know everything I do to control how I vote and bleed me dry of money

China wants me to draw a line on a map of Asia in their preferred way

Do you not know about the US infrastructure issues from using Chinese shit? Neifixable

Flax_vert@feddit.uk on 14 Apr 2026 00:11 collapse

That sounds less of a China problem and more of a “we went for the lowest possible bidder” problem

redsand@infosec.pub on 14 Apr 2026 01:34 collapse

It’s very much also because China. Both governments have documented backdoors.

The USA has backdoored the majority of British Citizen’s phones, including mine

Have you ever googled any Chinese phone brands? Like ever? China and the US are spying on you. They’re both bad. It’s that simple Starmer Jr.

Flax_vert@feddit.uk on 14 Apr 2026 17:43 collapse

Just don’t use a Chinese phone brand. Simple.

Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club on 13 Apr 2026 18:41 next collapse

Well, why do 9/10 of said ppl give their data to US, (Korean, and) Chinese firms & not fight back harder?

It’s not just phones needing your email, ppl will give access to their data for creating shitty AI shitteries that nobody needs.

It’s hard to list places I would trust with my data. But yeah China is way way down on the list, even if you’re a citizen they have 1.4 billion people to manage and if you get out of line they will not be kind.

I don’t even trust myself with my data.

the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world on 13 Apr 2026 20:14 next collapse

This tells me 2 out of 10 are idiots.

I don’t either.
