Sorry to disappoint but I’m not American nor do I own any clothing from China (or any other countries that may rely on sweat shops for production).
From a security and privacy standpoint though there are possible implications when a tech-product/service is owned/controlled by a Chinese company. China’s influence on it’s businesses (especially tech related) can’t be denied.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if news would break that the Chinese government has it’s hands in Opera’s cooking pot somehow.
Sorry if I have offended you but that’s just reality. I don’t trust Chinese tech companies.
- modzu 8y agoi didnt mean to offend you either, it just seemed like more of a xenophobic than technical argument. apple is lauded for the security and privacy of the iphone but it is manufactured in china. could china have their hands in that "cooking pot"? if there were some kind of subterfuge occurring with opera at the hands of the chinese government, it would be newsworthy indeed.
- kevingrahl 8y agoI don’t even know why I’m still arguing with you but there’s a huge difference between something being assembled in China for a US company and a browser company with its jurisdiction in China. One can be compelled to aid the government the other not so much. You’re comparing two entirely different things here. It’s far easier to manipulate some lines of code than to modify the hardware of thousands of devices. And I do take offense at being called xenophobic and won’t further participate in this ‘discussion’.
- modzu 8y agoi was not calling "you" xenophobic, i was saying the sentiment of distrust for anything chinese seemed xenophobic to me, barring an explanation (which you provided, thanks. the exchange of ideas is good!). but i will call you a special snowflake
