- vachina 4y agoThis bias is very apparent in most of western media. A Chinese software vendor could do as much as sending your keystrokes for autocomplete you bet it will be front page news on Reddit and here with every comment reminding me about Xinjiang and 1989. But Microsoft could upload the entirety of your hard drive and we would find apologists like OP rationalizing away the behavior. I’m not convinced either governments are not in kahoots with private companies.

It’s not like it’s a double standard or remotely hypocritical to hold a US corporation or the US government to different standards than a Chinese counterpart.
