> LOL. It is much more dangerous for the Chinese government to have access to more data on users than NYT or other corporations. 20 years ago this would have been a no-brainer statement. 5 years ago you'd say "Well, yes, through PRISM and many other NSA problems, if a private US corporation has your data, so does the US government. But don't worry, the Government doesn't care about individual citizens, and wouldn't use that maliciously." In 2020, do you really think that the Trump administration would have any qualms about using any NSA data against their "enemies" (which includes Journalists not bending to the spin of the administration?) Honestly, the only reason I think it hasn't been done yet is Trump is too stupid to realize all the tools available to his disposal. If you're a Chinese citizen, you should be more afraid of the Chinese Government, yes. If you're a US citizen, you should be much much more afraid of the US government. And as a citizen of neither, I'm afraid of both equally.
