But the former is acquiring information that may lead to them blackmailing you and/or your loved ones into spying against your nation, which may lead to more than just an arrest.

You're comparing a threat that sounds cool and scary and is practically non-existent to a mundane abuse of privacy that happens every day.

Why does it have to be either? My comment was merely about leak of data to China. Whether it is non-existent or not is something I'd rather not find out.

It is after all a personal decision and to each their own.
