    That’s false equivalence.

    China killing protesters and silencing dissidents does not make it OK for Google or anyone else to spy on you.

      yeah no shit. The point is that they aren’t equivalent, trying to make them so is a destructive distraction

        This thread is about an app that spies on you, it is absolutely relevant to want to talk about other apps that do the same thing.

        The “yH bUt ChInA iS EvIl” rhetoric is an irrelevant distraction from the topic at hand.

      That’s not what is being pointed. In China, you don’t have freedom of information. They are authoritarian, borderline totalitarian. Yeah, Google spy and the US spy on us but to say America/Google is just as bad is the false equivalence.

        I’m not saying that America/Google is just as bad. I’m saying that in a thread discussing apps that spy on you, that talking about non-Chinese apps that also hoard your data is absolutely relevant and shouldn’t be trumped or silenced by a “yh, but China is evil tho” type comment.
