Their usage of wechat is more likely a liability than a benefit. It gives a foreign adversary visibility into their activities in US. How can they become activist or work for change if their government is monitoring everything they say?
Do the Hong Kong protest crackdown not scare anyone else?
Now they have an excuse. It won’t look suspicious if they communicate to each other on channels that can’t be monitored by their oppressive government.
- valuearb 6y agoYour arguments is the NSA should monitor them, just as it does us?
- ed25519FUUU 6y agoWill the NSA make HK protesters disappear? There’s great alternatives to wechat that are secure by design, rather than spy-by-design, such as telegram or signal.
- valuearb 6y agoThat should be for the users to decide. My point is whatever they choose is likely going to be government monitored. And the US has done hundred of renditions without trial, so while far from the scale of China, US spy agencies still do some awful things.
- buzzerbetrayed 6y agoHow did you gather that from their comment?
- newen 6y agoWhy are you assuming an average Chinese citizen would want to be an activist or work for change? Most likely they have positive views of their government just like the average American citizen.
