Well, that is a fair point. Each person has their own threat model.
I work in tech, often adjacent or on national projects or highly sensitive R&D. We have regular counter-espionage training.
You are concerned about domestic law enforcement learning about you. Both are valid threat models.

- mc32 4y agoOne concern people should have about foreign tech spying on them is the possibility it undermines the stability of their jobs. Let’s say it exfiltrates data that eventually allows a foreign competitor to build sophisticated metallurgy for turbines. It’s not like all foreign countries eagerly hire foreign talent, moreover it puts domestic expertise at risk as well as all the collateral subcontractors and suppliers… so, yeah, super metallurgy-guy's job may be secure (can get hired by the foreign competitor), even if the company collapses but not the jobs of 10,000s who work for suppliers, etc.
