Are you American? If you are Chinese or European, etc, it'd make more sense that the government you are sharing to doesn't matter.

Are you American?
If you are Chinese or European, etc, it'd make more sense that the government you are sharing to doesn't matter.
- A_D_E_P_T 2y agoIf you're American, you're safer using a Chinese chatbot. The Chinese government has literally no authority over you and American authorities will not cooperate with (or even receive) Chinese government requests. The Chinese won't even bother to sell you ads. As an individual, you're of zero interest to them. For the same reason, if you're Chinese, you're safer using an American chatbot, or running your own local instance of llama or Deepseek. If you're European... uhhh... it doesn't matter. There are no European options. But you're marginally safer, if you're doing anything risky or dissident-like, with the Chinese option.

- A_D_E_P_T 2y agoIt addressed the nonsense: "If you are Chinese or European, etc, it'd make more sense that the government you are sharing to doesn't matter" If you're American, it matters even more, and every American should make some effort to host their digital materials offshore. (To restate what I wrote below, this was Proton's entire raison d'etre!!) The USA is demonstrably more willing to spy on its own citizens and lock them up than China or any European nation. For e.g., in an incarceration rate nearly 5x higher than China's. Of course I'm not going to answer irrelevant personal questions.
