I don't want to give examples of specific companies for what I hope are obvious reasons.

But in basically all cases western companies were much more interested in buying us for our users, which they could then subject to whatever their business model is. Selling ads, selling subscriptions, selling data, whatever.

Our companies profit was actually a negative to these western companies since it simply increases the price that they would have to pay to get at the users.
