This doesn’t advocate for any substantial improvement of data protections. It’s merely a convenience argument to legitimize banning Chinese cars for economic reasons. American car manufacturers will continue to harvest and sell all your data, just with less competition.

Of course, this isn’t a surprise coming from the CFR, the lobbying organization for US imperialism.

“Safe” being defined in a user-hostile manier, i.e. with unmodified Google components and not rooted.

“Google-controlled” would be a better word.

Such is the fate of hypercentralized spaces. The fediverse fixes this.

“Gen Z simply uses technology more than any other generation and is therefore more likely to be scammed via that technology.”

Why? If there are offsite backups that can be restored in an acceptable time frame, what’s still the point of RAID?
