Wow, a very normal, and widespread TOS part. Which almost EVERY SINGLE COMPANY has. And whatever yammer yer were doing with “communist mega corporation” is also very strange. I hope for the better of yer.

No.

Many companies in the western world will not freely give your information to law enforcement and will even actively fight it. We saw that with apple, we saw that with signal and specifically in germany, we had some other smaller profile cases that have fought law enforcement.

In China, companies are forced to give the government free access to all of its information without any subpoena or anything needed. Which is why many western companies can’t do business in china themselves without having a Chinese partner company that handles it for them (Blizzard needed NetEase, for example)

Apple?? You used apple as an example? Apple that finally settled the lawsuit where siri recorded conversations and they sent them off to third parties? Comical.

My point was not that apple is a protector of your data, obviously they’re not. No large corporation is. The entire ecosystem of google and facebook would not work without data.

My point was that corporations in the west actually have a chance of fighting against subpoenas and other ways the government might force them to hand out user data, whereas china will probably just make the CEO disappear mysteriously if they don’t comply immediately.
