The CIA buys this data to track Putin's chef so of course China and Russia are doing the same to us.

I'd much rather be tracked by China than by anything at all with a USA presence.

As if I had a choice.

As if politicians of any party care now, in a meaningful way.

As if news orgs were ever interested in security experts who sounded the klaxons (for years and years and years).

Do you have a source for this claim?
