Yeah I think no one stops to ask who those silicon valley jerks sell our data to. The answer is anyone. Including big brother who otherwise cannot legally collect it - but it's legal now because a company did it and we bought it!
Exactly. It's like it's only bad if China gets all our data and influences us without Zuck and Musk getting their cut. But as long as they have to buy data and ads from them it's fine.
it's even worse if it's GCHQ gathering it and then just handing it over to the CIA, where the cia gathering it themselves would be illegal, but they use treaties and diplomacy as loopholes to subvert our actual legal protections.
Except that China can just buy it from American companies, mostly because our government won't do anything to protect our privacy.
