As a US citizen, I'm personally glad to see other nations push back against data privacy exploitation by US businesses on the general public. It's evident our own (US) government will do very little to curb those business's overreach.
I hope to see more disincentives put forth against these practices in markets our businesses haven't completely supplanted government oversight. Hopefully, that will result in shifts of practices in the US markets as well, though it's certainly not guaranteed.

- jjcon 6y ago> China is looked down for its draconian surveillance. However US is just another side of the same coin. This is not the case - almost all major countries have surveillance agencies. It’s not the fact that China has surveilance that is looked down upon, it’s the lack of checks and balances. Most democratic countries have surveillance to ensure national security interests and they have strict checks and balances to minimize abuse and ensure that intel is used only for national security reasons. China’s surveillance has no such checks and balances and does little to prevent abuse and that is worth criticizing. Perhaps this may change someday but the current party does not seem to be heading in that direction.
