What's the security issue? That China has personal information about millions of Americans?
Who doesn't have personal information about millions of Americans these days?
It isnt about past data, it's about current data and trends. It's also about a foreign government controlling what another government's citizens see through an algorithm.
Haha right? Remember the Equifax breach? I think the security claim isn't genuine in intent, but I can believe that all else being equal, privacy violation does result in risk to security.
Even more reason to solve the underlying issues and hold companies accountable for how they handle privacy and personal information. Ideally I'd like to see the hoarding of personal data be somehow demonitized.
