But American companies harvesting our data and sending it straight into the hands of the Trump administration and his harem of tech whores like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Altman are a-okay. I’d rather have China harvest my data, because China doesn’t have as much influence over my life here in Germany as the US does.
As an American, i would rather cpc or russian agents poison me than the dumb totally avoidable shit thats about to happen with all that data in this country.
Hoping this sets a precedent for the same kind of regulation about non-Chinese corporations. Otherwise it just comes across as sinophobic grandstanding and not actually about protecting the privacy of the end-user.
The bavarian police just implemented fucking Palantir for their own use starting in august, so nah it’s just sinophobia.
Like the ‘impartial’ IAEA and their Mosaic system
OC it is about that.
Same with Tik Tok, they don’t like news they can’t control and censor.

Or simply bcs they can’t compete with Chinese tech. (Huawei etc)
“Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies,” she added.
And that’s different to American companies how? None of this climate of data harvesting is currently good for us.
It’s simple: America Good, China Bad.
There isn’t much more depth to it than this. BTW even Lemmy is sadly suffering from the same brainrot.
Yes. But “America bad, China good” is also brainrot.
I don’t think China is good. I think China is a strong country doing normal superpower stuff. The difference is China doesn’t start wars and isn’t out to overthrow other countries governments, so I expected people to hate China less than the US. But propaganda is strong.
At least formally, with US companies there are agreements that the data on european citizen need to stay in EU, with China no
Which gives superficial comfort as it gives scant protection from how aggregate data is used to upend democracy.
I prefer China’s honesty to the US’s dishonesty.
Do chatgpt, claude, gemini, llama, etc keep user data in the EU?
Sure ;)
Sure, as long as you also remove ChatGPT.
Germany is known in Europe for being one of the biggest wh*res of the USA so that doesn’t surprise me more than that.
W Germany
Good. Fuck off tankies crying about this. Deepseek is just like all the other AI leeches off of resources.
