Not a fan of Chinese tech products either. That being said, US products weren't that great on privacy even before Trump. And all American firms are involved in corruption to one extent or another.
My hope is recent developments in the US can give some breathing space for platforms/companies that are not Chinese or American.
US products are less risky in the short time, but by using them one is simply kicking the can down the road.
There is a very high possibility that the US will permanently become a de facto proto-fascist oligarch-run plutocracy. And it's not even a Trump thing, the oligarchy was there before him.
No disrespect to sane Americans, I do wish you all the best and I hope I am wrong. However, I hope you understand that the topic at hand requires a sober, cautious evaluation of the situation.
