It's absolutely about the American/Chinese government, I don't see comments forum sliding into Chinese tech on every post about Google.

But no, swift and gboard don't send your data to the American government.

There's also a dangerous misconception around here that FOSS == privacy safe. It doesn't.

There is also a differece between invading your privacy and compromising your security. Both are bad, but one is much worse at least in my view. Keylogging and then sending those keystrokes back to base with a dodgey custom rolled encryption framework is not just a breach of privacy.
