    Every single time something sketchy is happening in Chinese tech a Lemmy user will slide the conversation and accusations to American tech. It’s a rule.

      Is not about American/Chinese government, is about privacy. ANY company or government storing your data can be extremely problematic in the future.

      Yeah the Sogou Keyboard send data to Tencent, the same thing happens or could happens with others proprietary keyboards in the future. How about trying a FOSS one?

        It’s absolutely about the American/Chinese government, I don’t see comments forum sliding into Chinese tech on every post about Google.

        But no, swift and gboard don’t send your data to the American government.

        There’s also a dangerous misconception around here that FOSS == privacy safe. It doesn’t.

      On all social media, that seems to happen and it makes me sick.

      People not knowing how scary the Chinese government is speaks volumes about the future of other countries. We had all the opportunity to see it happen and avoid it and these morons dismiss the truth and whatabout every damned thing
