If you think provisioning a server in the wrong country is grounds for the death penalty then I think you might be unsuited to living in a first world country.

If you think provisioning a server in the wrong country is grounds for the death penalty then I think you might be unsuited to living in a first world country. Have you considered Saudi Arabia or North Korea? You might find those places a better cultural fit for you.

Maybe you would feel differently if it was your PII that made it into the hands of the CCP. Unfortunately this has already happened to me. The CCP now has all of my employment history, education history, banking information, and all contact info for my friends and family. https://www.opm.gov/cybersecurity/cybersecurity-incidents/ https://www.opm.gov/cybersecurity/cybersecurity-incidents/

  So what, they have a zoom info subscription? I'm deeply worried about CPP + Tiktok, because it's potentially a huge database of people doing things that they can be blackmailed for. Your resume content is basically public information at this point.

    My PII is not public information in the USA, and it should not be in the hands of the CCP. Although it's not the case in my situation, many completed SF86 forms contain information that could be used to blackmail the applicant, such as DUI convictions, mental breakdowns, credit problems, bankruptcy, drug use, etc. The USG collects the information to "protect" the applicant from being exploited by the enemy, but such information could still be embarrassing if publicly disclosed. Aside from the problems that publicizing information can cause, there's also the risk of a bad actor using the information to fraudulently obtain credit. The SF86 contains everything that anyone would need to obtain credit using somebody else's identity. At a minimum, the information could be used as a form of harassment. A worst-case real-world example of how such information could cost lives is what the Mossad has been doing with Iranian nuclear scientists over the past two decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Iranian_nuclear_scientists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Iranian_nucle...
