1. It is not about privacy.
2. It is not about data collection.
3. It is about an enemy govt. having access to US population's data.
#3 is a valid thing and the US govt should act on it.
This is the same kind of logic that people spout to justify Chinese police stations in the US (The US has police stations in the US why can't China have Chinese police stations in the US? The answer to Chinese police on US soil is not a blanket restriction on all police.)
- throwawaymaths 4y agoTechnically china is not considered to be an enemy state. It would be really hard to justify that, unless you had some evidence (which must exist somewhere) of Chinese military officials labeling the US as an enemy state and enacting a reciprocity law (which afaict does not exist currently).
