I guess your world is only black and white ay?
They are being sarcastic.

Wtf is Spotify doing?
Gathering and selling your data.
So much data to infer from your music tastes. Listening to music about breakup? You had a breakup yourself. Listening to classical music? You’re a top earner. Listening to Eminem? You like mom’s spaghetti.
lemmesayI stopped using it as son as I ordered a takeout of my days and saw they even saved my unfinished searches even after I deleted them
Selling to who?
the service serves ads, anything that will serve ads will also typically create a profile on users preference to then have targetted ads.
Still it’s not American but swedish
CyberEggI don’t discriminate. I say the data protection of all of these services is terrible and you shouldn’t use them.
I think users should embrace data harvesting and passively run chatGPT powered bots to generate more mindless data
Is there some way to trick the chatgpt training bots by intentionally mislabeling data? Like can I upload some ~~furry pornography ~~ tasteful erotica and label it “AP US history assignment - Civil War”?
Spottily is a Swedish company
Came here to say this
Is it illegal for Swedish companies to store user data? Is it illegal for them to sell user data? Do they have very strict rules about showing users every time and how data they generate is saved?
oxjoxSweden is not an adversary of the United States.
davelThis forced sale of TikTok for national security is a farce because they were already forced to move their service to the US on an American-owned hosting provider, and they have already put people with a history of aligning with “American interests” into executive positions, like CEO Shou Zi Chew and vice president Michael Beckerman. I think the US “intelligence community” already has everything it needs to monitor and control TikTok.
I have a geoip alias on my firewall and can still see TikTok sending telemetry to a Chinese CDN.
If so, then maybe the US “intelligence community” doesn’t actually see that as a problem, despite the cold war propaganda.
redditReallySucksIt doesn’t matter where the servers are located physically but who can access the data that’s on them
They were physically relocated to the US so that the US can access the data, as people like Edward Snowden and Mark Klein have shown us. I’m sure the US knows precisely what data is and isn’t being sent to China.
This meme is a bit dishonest because its about Chinese government harvesting this data not about companies harvesting it. Both are bad but ones substantially worse.
CysioHow the Chinese government having my (Westerner’s in a NATO country) data is any worse than Western (and thus subpoenable by the Western governments) corporations having it?
Cause somebody is selling the Chinese king false dreams of invading America. And maybe having documents on every American citizen would be helpful post invasion.

Then they’re wasting their efforts because I’m not an American citizen (thank gods)
You’re on the same “Risk Board game” like the rest of us. If you’re not in the American sphere of influence then NSA is just taking all your metadata the harder way.
SleepyWheelAmerican companies have way more power over my life than the Chinese government
Semi-Hemi-DemigodYeah, if China wants the data of Americans they should buy it from American companies, not harvest it themselves.
They're not mad about leaking data, they're mad that China is drinking their milkshake.
The bill actually addresses any foreign adversary.
BaldProphetUS companies != US federal government
US federal gov already got their hand in companies ass.
reverse order
ScrubblesAt first I thought you were being serious, but I think this is a joke? That Americans don’t care how many companies spy on them as long as it’s not the government?
Which, is laughable because of course the government has contacts at everyone one of these companies and they’d gladly hand over your data then go to court to protect it
No, you're misunderstanding. The Chinese government has significantly more influence and power over Chinese companies than the US federal government has over US companies. People are acting like both are the same, but they are not.
This is sort of true, though it’s hard to make a clear distinction between US capitalists and the US government when the capitalists control the government, and have since the 1776 bourgeois revolution.
China is a proletarian state, where the capitalist class is not in control: China’s housing minister says real estate developers must go bankrupt if necessary
Whereas the US is a bourgeois state, where the capitalist class is in control.
Yeah okay. Your far-left talking points aren't convincing me and are definitely making your point harder to parse.
yeah what was that? I guess thats lemmy.ml for ya
The original devs of Lemmy use Lenin and Che Guevara as their avatar pics. No one should be surprised that their primary instance is full of tankies.
It should be a known fact at this point that US companies share all the data the goverment wants, i don’t think the greater influence matters in this case.
Krafty KactusUpvoting cause I think this is a joke. Please don’t prove me wrong
They’re not joking
Chinese companies != Chin…wait.
Ever heard about CLOUD act?
All of the US corporate social media platforms are part of the US military-industrial-intellegence complex. Look at their boards of directors and executives. Look at the Twitter Files. Look Hamilton 68.
Look at Reddit:
- Facebook Partners With Hawkish Atlantic Council, a NATO Lobby Group, to “Protect Democracy”
- Jessica Ashooh: The taming of Reddit and the National Security State Plant tabbed to do it
- A Reddit AMA Claiming To Be A Uyghur Quickly Exposes A CIA Asset Slandering China
- r/neoliberal was created by a neoliberal think tank » BPR Interviews: The Neoliberal Project
.
They have their eye on the fediverse now as well: Atlantic Council » Collective Security in a Federated World
You're also misunderstanding. I won't deny that US companies seek profit wherever they can, even from unethical sources. I also don't doubt their involvement with law enforcement and intelligence agencies. But a company seeking profit through a partnership with the United States federal government is not the same as the totalitarian Chinese government requiring oversight of Chinese companies.
It might not seem like a big difference to you, but it's an important one to me.
If you find it upsetting that the Chinese state imposes its will on the Chinese capitalist class, then you must really like capitalism, where the capitalist class imposes its will on the state.
23andMe is much, much worse than the others due to the nature of the data it sells.
How do you mean?
I consider your personal genetic data to be a much more dangerous thing to sell, at least in the long term, compared to browser history.
Even if the corporation that holds onto the genetic data isn’t selling it for profit (which I doubt), they still likely have terrible security on their servers. How many data breaches have there been over the years?
