    Yes, it absolutely is, because the US government does not require companies by law to hand over any and all information they collect to them.

        The NSA collects all kinds of information. That is an absolute pittance compared to the amount of data collected when it is required by law

        Like this is not that complicated.

          ByteDance is still incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Not the PRC.

          Edit: You still haven’t explained why the PRG has more of an incentive to spy on you personally than the NS government does.

          Of course: China spies on the US. But as long as you’re not carrying government secrets, you’re a way more interesting target for the people in charge of the cops.

      1. They might not need to, since the NSA has quite an arsenal of tools.
      2. The companies might share all the info volutarily.
      3. They’ll definetly share the data if the price is right.

      Google Amazon and Facebook have repeatedly worked with law enforcement in the past. You can still believe that the chinese goverment is sooo much worse than the US, but don’t call other people naive if you do.
