I'd rather have my data used by an "autocracy" on the other side of the ocean that can't reach me, then by a "democracy" that can get me and make mu life hell. If that foreign "autocracy" is an enemy of the "democracy", even better, since they are then less likely to ever share my data.

How has your life been made hell? Why would you support a far-away dictatorship?
