Are you using Chinese brands? Tiktok, AliExpress, ByteDance, Binance, Tencent? If you have no problems with them but with Meta, that's hypocrisy on your part.

I myself don't really have problems with them, and neither with Meta. I don't think they have a brand problem other than in bubbles like HN.

One of these options (Meta vs. Chinese brands) is in bed with a dangerous totalitarian regime.

The other is the Chinese brands.

The Chinese government can’t do anything to affect my daily life. I would much rather the Chinese government know everything about me.

So you wouldn’t have problems with Meta if they weren’t American? Do you think Chinese people should use Meta’s products, if they were available there?

That kind of seems logically to me if Meta isn’t sharing data with the Chinese government.
