    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.
