Yay!!! The Chinese Spyware has been banned ๐ฟ
Long live American spyware ๐
There is no known western API access directly into your phones through any major social media company and if it were known it would get patched. I'll take the American spyware over the CCP spyware any day of the week, thank you very much.
Have you honestly never heard of the NSA leaks?
I have. Are you honestly sure you understand them?
You're either lying or being purposely obtuse. PRISM??
I am just not in the habit of assuming your entire worldviews and opinions based on a tiny comment. I am familiar with PRISM. They also have guns in the United States government. Just because they have tools, doesn't mean they are always used in ways you disagree with. PRISM does not imply that the private services are complicit, that they are used without a warrant, or that they don't screw up from time to time and do the wrong thing.
Now compare that to the CCP having direct warrantless access to 40% of American's cellular devices 100% of the time. It's one thing to say that you don't trust western private company's security policies. It's farcical to suggest that it is equal to installing direct spyware on your phone from the CCP.
Additionally, anyone can put something on slides, that doesn't make it a full government record.
Fake news. American government would never spy on its own citizens!!
