Everyone collects our data… Apple, Google, third party apps… everyone. So what is the really concern with China doing it specifically? Everything I have tried to read about this just talks about how China will use it for ads, but that’s what tons of other tech companies are already doing… so why is China owning our data different?

Foreign social influence, by collecting your data, China can effectively push narratives that favor them on your social media tailored to you, ranging from downplaying their cultural atrocities, promoting their “peaceful rise not at the expense of any other nation”, to influencing the election of your local politicians and officials that will favor Chinese expansion and turn a blind eye, all the while they cry loudly about how foreign nations have no place to interfere with their domestic policies, rules for thee but not for me. You would be surprised how subtle it is and how the average joe on the internet can fall for it.
