Question that I’ve been mulling over recently: My threat model dictates that I’m more likely to be surveilled by the US government than by the Chinese government. We can also assume that the Chinese government is not going to cooperate with the US government in any investigations of potential activist activity.
Would it not be best, then, to use a Chinese-made phone that, even though we know that information is going to China, we can also assume that any backdoors in the system are unknown to the US Gov?
I’m interested in everyone’s take on this.
There was disinformation and spying being used gather Intel and push disinformation. That’s why Biden wanted it gone. Trump was the one who decided he could use it for the same reasons as the Chinese.
Of course. Of. Course.
What Biden actually wanted was to control the narrative about Gaza so that his support for Israel’s genocide wouldn’t cost him the election. Unlike US corporate media—including social media—TikTok wasn’t censoring the truth.
