So what if China knows what’s in your house? If American companies know what’s in your house the government can ask them for that info at any time and as Amazon has shown they’ll give it up without a warrant. The Chinese government isn’t coming to my house and I doubt Chinese companies are dealing with the us government like Amazon is.

ok, so how about we set up a webcam in your bedroom and livestream it on the Internet?

How does that compare to the Chinese government having a map of your house at all? Honestly though, if the livestream was only viewable in China I’d be fine. Certainly much more comfortable with that than it being viewable in the us.

In all likelihood, literally nobody would watch.
