Wow, it’s a whole new level of f*cked up when Zuck collects more data than the Winnie the Pooh (DeepSeek). 😳
The idea that US apps are somehow better than Chinese apps when it comes to collecting and selling user data is complete utter propaganda.
Don't use either. Until Trump, I still considered CCP spyware more dangerous because they would be collecting info that could be used to blackmail US politicians and businesses. Now, it's a coin flip. In either case, use EU or FOSS apps whenever possible.
