They’re all nefarious. Your data should not be in the hands of any data broker or Government without explicit consent.

But if you wanna beat the drum of Jingoism, here is a counter argument: the Chinese Government has little interest in the activities of most domestic US citizens. Its the US Federal Government that cares if American citizens are feeling too rebellious.

Including influencing public perception of domestic and international events? You may as well say the Chinese government doesn't care about world politics.

Also it's not "Jingoist" to assume that a foreign government (with whom we've had friction) has less of our interests in mind than our own government.
