I trust Chinese firms more than American ones....

If I'm going to ask for ai help because I don't know how to do basic coding, I'm asking deepseek instead of clammy sam Altman bot

I trust that Chinese Firms won't directly lead to my door being kicked in by ICE.

That is more than I can say about American firms.

This applies only if you're american. Which is a small part of the world.

How many out of ten Europeans use Meta or TikTok?

[-] mriormro@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 weeks ago

You can use something and still not trust something.

What point are you trying to make?

[-] kungfuratte@feddit.org -1 points 3 weeks ago

I can spell it out for you:

People recognize the problem, but don't take appropriate action.

I mean, this was my first question as well. If you say "I don't trust that guy with my kids," then you also should not be leaving that person alone with your kids. If you do leave him alone with your kids, people aren't wrong to say that you very much are trusting him with them.

So I think it's legitimate to ask whether they mean they "don't trust Chinese and US firms with their data" in the sense that they do not provide their data to them, or just in the sense that they do give them a bunch of data, and then feel misgivings about it.

Which, y'know, it's something you have a limited degree of control over, certainly, and we don't want to fall too much into blaming the victims. But as someone who didn't manage to actually get off Facebook until last year, I definitely felt for a long while before that like I was complicit in my own exploitation, and contributing to a societal problem. I think even the people still there know that cancelling it is the low-hanging fruit in terms of reducing the amount of data in the hands of dubious firms.

How many of those 8 are doing anything, ANYTHING, about it though?

[-] quack@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

If we’re being real I don’t really trust anyone with my data.

Don't trust anyone, not even yourself.

Full time ass job to keep up with every single security bulletin.

What's an ass job? Like, butt stuff?

I despise the US from the bottom of my heart, and I am a big China fan, and yet at the same time I don't want anyone to handle our data. We need data sovereignty. Our data stays here and that's it. Not in the US. Not in China. Not anywhere else.

But > 9/10 Europeans use whastapp / messenger for daily basis.

9/10 european companies decide to use Aws, azure or gcp, instructions of Scaleway or ovh.

9/10 europeans use Chatgpt or Claude instead of mistral or Lumo

American here, I don't trust US firms with data

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I trust they are selling my data to make money, even when I ask them not to.

I don't trust Europeans with anything. I've lived there twice. The tyranny of the majority will destroy Europe very soon.
