I communicate regularly with people in mainland China. For me the best policy is just don't say anything that I would be too concerned about being shared. Of course, my behavior is the same for other apps. Beyond government-level type hacking, I feel a little more safe on some of the Chinese apps, as I know they have a stronger hand in their ability to stop hackers and scammers.

- MattGaiser 6y agoChina is 80% of the way there with this guy already.
- dvduval 6y agoWhen I get "there" what would that be like? You are funny. But you don't know me.
- MattGaiser 6y ago> For me the best policy is just don't say anything that I would be too concerned about being shared You embrace state influence in full regarding your thoughts and words.
- dvduval 6y agoI embrace that virtually anywhere I post there are going to be some repercussions of doing so. For example, here I will be downvoted if I post something that people don't like.
- dvduval 6y agoI've been studying Chinese for 6 years. I probably know a thing or two about Chinese government. But obviously you've decided what you believe I know. Good for you.

Hackers and scammers are no less prevalent on WeChat. Loads of people I know come in contact with them quite often. WeChat's monitoring isn't about stopping petty crime.
