oh was saying wouldn't want to drive next to a Chinese car on the road
Stupid, borderline racist joke.
I'd have concerns about spyware mostly, but i would also argue, that other brands wouldn't be much better.
at this point, I'd be far more concerning about American spyware
Precisely.
I don't want China spying on me, but at the end of the day, they have exactly zero legal jurisdiction over anything that I do. The data they gather from me may as well be completely useless outside of some statistical tracking.
American companies, however, will spy on me and then gleefully sell that data to insurance agencies, law enforcement, or ICE kidnapping squads, who have the capability to come find me and harm me or my family. And we already know that American cars spy on you and report your movements to a home server, this has been proven more than once.
Right, it's always worse to have the government that actually have agency over you collecting your personal information.
that's the excuse they used for banning tiktok
