A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Forgot about the NSA leaks already? They don't ask for the data.

The NSA collects all kinds of information. That is an absolute pittance compared to the amount of data collected when it is required by law...

Like this is not that complicated.

ByteDance is still incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Not the PRC.

Edit: You still haven't explained why the PRG has more of an incentive to spy on you personally than the NS government does.

Of course: China spies on the US. But as long as you're not carrying government secrets, you're a way more interesting target for the people in charge of the cops.
