Telcos can still track their customers, and who knows which three-letter agencies can get all that data.
The only issue now is (it seems), that it's the chinese doing it and not facebook/google or local telcos.

- ajsnigrutin 4y agoWell sure, but somehow noone was bothered by the local three-letter agencies getting the data from the telcos (and google, facebook, etc.), until the chinese did the same with their app.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoPlenty of people were and are bothered. Clapper lied to Congress for a reason. Google accelerated their plans to encrypt inter DC links. And at least in the US tech companies release the quantity of requests from the government. FOIA is also a thing. Obviously not enough, yet far beyond any accountability for the CCP.
