I don't have an issue giving my data to an American company. I just don't want them to store it in the US without my explicit consent.
Equally if you buy a product from a Chinese company in the US, you would expect that product to meet US standards, not Chinese standards.

Conversely, if China had higher standards, I wouldn't be surprised if the product met the chinese standards. In this case, California standards will meet or exceed those of the UK.
- avianlyric 6y ago> California standards will meet or exceed those of the UK. That's very unlikely. California may be the left-leaning, liberal, forward thinking state of the US. But it's got nothing on the EU/UK when it comes to things like food, safety or privacy standards (except for vehicle emissions where California is ahead, thanks VW). Remember the "left" in US would be considered far "right" (I don't mean neo-Nazi far right, I just mean further right wing than our mainstream right wing parties) in the UK/EU when it comes to social and economic policy.
- pilsetnieks 6y agoIt's not about Californian standards. Whatever standards they have, the federal government including all the alphabet agencies can still vacuum up that data. (More so since the Brits aren't American citizens.) That was the gist of the recent ECJ ruling against the so-called "privacy shields."
