Honestly I trust foreign countries with my data a lot lot more then the US.
VERY true, sadly. However, I would consider China as one of the exceptions to that... mainly bc it sounded like that's what John Oliver was telling me to do:-P
Don't really watch mainstream news like them. To much incentive for capatilism and money then actually reporting on what people should need to know. Which is another reason why I generally get news from just people who are not in the media. :)
I mean, while that is a true statement, he in particular has been allowed to get away with saying some VERY anti-capitalist takes, and moreover TikTok itself is somewhat known for selectively altering what content is fed to people as well - e.g. more vs. less "attractive" people. So while I'm not arguing against your statement, I'm saying there seems more to that story:-).
