Specifically tell me how china is using your data to personally screw you over. And then tell me exactly how Zuckerberg et al. aren't.

I'm confused about the single full stop. It shows they have knowledge of basic punctuation, but refuse to use it.

That they're using door dash at all.

Oh Andy, the Republicans won't think of you as "one of the good ones" and protect you from their white America policies.

People forget that a large portion of the original Nazis were hardened WWI vets, not soft plutocrat tech bros.

The reason feelings of cultural appropriation exist is because the children of immigrants feel like society treats them as foreigners because they're not white, despite growing up all their lives in the US/UK etc. This leads to feeling like some dipshit is enjoying the food and fashion of your home culture while rejecting it's people. Think about a Maga moron voting to kick out all the Mexicans while wearing a sombrero and eating tacos; it's a hypocrisy of culture vs race.

Explain exactly how using a Chinese app will negatively impact the average American. Don't use vague threats, use evidence based examples. I'll wait.

Better that they know about it at 6 than grow up feeling like they're broken inside and end up taking their own life at 16.

The long and short of it is even leftie Americans have internalised American exceptionalism, even if they aren't cognisant of it. And the right are, well... Racist and don't want to admit it.

No app is the big killer.

I don't disagree, but I also feel the same about X and Facebook and neither of them have copped a ban.

You're right, Google's tracking is way more pervasive and far less optional.

Sorry, are you describing X or Facebook with your comment?

Oh, you mean like "the narwhal bacon's at midnight?" Or "Anne frankly I did nazi that coming" or "somebody summon unidan!"?

Or ever, unless you go there.

It's not whataboutism when the salient point hinges on the country controlling it.

Please outline how your personal political opinions about china are going to affect the fact that you have a Chinese toaster. I'll wait.
