    I’m not defending China.

    the raw keyboard data going directly from your fingers to the government is not something that likely happens in the US, so either way this is a false equivalence.

    Again, I never mentioned the US.

    What does it matter if the data is routed to the government server first or second? Blanket data collection is nefarious no matter who is doing it, but it landing in the hands of any government is dangerous. It isn’t somehow less dangerous just because it hits a private server first (although it’s harder to tell spying is happening, so in that respect it may be worse)

    E2E encryption should be standard across all tech platforms in every country, full stop.
