    So your argument is that because US does it, it’s fine that China does it too?

      My argument is that western media is nothing but ‘china bad’ while allowing meta, stellar wind, gawd I feel like that SpongeBob meme where he is pointing at literally all the things… what I am saying is that things need to be addressed domestically but the media says no look over there where you have literally no agency to change things instead of fixing the things here where you have, well, almost no power

        So again, you are okay with China doing it, but not okay with US doing it? That’s a bit hypocritical, no? I for one say fuck both for doing this.

        There are many goods things about China, their total invasion of privacy is not one of them.

        So that’s your bar for tolerable invasion of privacy?

        Also, that German wasn’t sent to the concentration camp, but was threated with up to 5 years in the US jail if he did not provide the password to his phone. And then US lied about everything from claiming it was about the meme to claiming he was trying to emigrate instead of just visiting.
