I already addressed this in my comment. This decision is about the US government acting in the best interests of the US government. I was making the point that from a foreign interference perspective, the decision is justified.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> I already addressed this in my comment. No, you didn't even attempt to. You addressed a concern about US government monitoring of Microsoft (which seems to be based on the same false premise that intelligence services only monitor domestic entities). My point, which you did not address, is that transfer to a US owner doesn't somehow mean you have a guarantee that the PRC intelligence apparatus isn't monitoring it, just as it currently being owned by a Chinese entity doesn't provide a guarantee that the NSA isn't monitoring it.
- Thorentis 6y agoSo your argument is that any data that exists in the world might be monitored by the PRC, therefore we shouldn't be more wary of companies that operate inside the PRC because the PRC could be spying on everything everywhere anyway? Weak argument.
