I get that data breaches are their own class of problem, but I do find it ironic that people gave their contact/sales info to a company headquartered in Shenzen and have any expectation of data protection/privacy.
To say American and Chinese companies are operating on the same part of the spectrum shows how ignorant your comment is. Fwiw, the Chinese govt might have access to all the data on your OnePlus phone and you won't have any idea about it.
American system is driven by rule of laws. Legislature and Judiciary are two independent branches. It is not like China where Executive says something and then Judiciary is scared to act against it because, tomorrow, they may end up in a training camp.

But the American companies would never sell your data to the government!

Yeah, we datamine it to hell and use it to profile you to sell you more things!

Is this an argument? Can people be weary of companies in two countries or do they just have to pick one?
Nobody said they didn’t?
Whataboutism
We need it.
Not really whataboutism if you’re trying to choose between companies as a consumer.
