    He said the thing that Canada, Greenland, Cuba, and various other countries are worried about, but is either publicly ignored in the US or dismissed as "trolling" by the president.

      And Meta (or the US government) seems determined to prove him right

        Meta == US gov. It’s another tool in their toolbox. You shouldn’t trust US tech any more than Chinese tech. If anything, probably should trust it less than Chinese tech.

          Interesting that people trust foreign tech&#x2F;government over their own to represent their interests. Not saying you&#x27;re wrong.

            I don&#x27;t trust the Chinese government but i do trust that they&#x27;re disinterested in me and don&#x27;t have much agency over me. My own government is more trust worthy, but have interest and agency in me, so it could be said I trust the Chinese government more.
