Your data is going to the US government and data brokers, even if you don't know it.

    Source that China is using its backdoors to share information with the US? I mean, it very well might be, at least it's an extra step. I'm saying I'd rather not share my information with anyone, but if i had to choose, it would be a foreign government ahead of my own.

    I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, there.

    Not what I meant, the US is grabbing all the information on their own, don't think they aren't. Maybe some of you more sophisticated computer heads can avoid it, but I wouldn't expect it.

    They have everything compromised on a basic level, basic levels. China could sell your information back to the US too though in some kind of deal.

    But yeah I agree, I'd rather have foreign governments having it than mine own. But it's near impossible for a layman, or person without substantial resources, to keep their information out of the hands of the NSA and data brokers, I strongly suspect, as Edward Snowden informed us.
