I'd like to point out that they said nothing about it being a bad thing

I think it's pretty clear that that's exactly what they were implying. What is it that you think they meant by that?

And I agree with them. I also agree that it's not racist but anything Chinese is pretty much defacto-owned and operated by the CCP.

I personally thought they were implying that China could be a privacy concern, as you don't have a single clue what happens with your data there. There's zero reason to assume anything bad especially with a simple statement like that.

I personally thought they were implying that China could be a privacy concern

...and this is a good thing?

If you leave out the rest of what I said sure? I don't actually know what you're asking.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I left it out because its not important. You said they didn't say anything bad and then said you thought they were saying it compromises your privacy. Maybe you don't care about privacy but I think most people would consider invading your privacy very much "a bad thing".

This argument was never about invading privacy not being a bad thing? It was about the racism and such comment the other commenter made?

My dude, do you have amnesia?

I'd like to point out that they said nothing about it being a bad thing and that all they did was say it was Chinese-owned, hence making your comment a pointless attack of nonsense.

They were very clearly implying that being Chinese-owned is a bad thing (because of the privacy implications), which is the opposite of what you said.

I'm going to stop replying now because this is going nowhere, but no that is not what I said and I really don't know what to tell you. You're missing key things here about the intention and tone of my comment and the one I replied to.

Maybe you'd like to attempt again to explain what you meant? Because you have already confirmed my understanding was correct.
