So you’re not gonna respond to any other part of my comment?
I understand you might not care about my last point, not many people do, but the first three are much more important.
You think the government, the entity that already controls all of your data and can sway public opinion by simply “teaming up” with ms media already, needs Facebook data to ruin your country?
If you are afraid of corrupt governments you might aswell go live in the woods.
I’m not talking about my government, I’m talking about foreign ones.
Edit: also, where do you think your government gets all this information from?
What are are scared of exactly? China knowing what toilet paper you use?
I think you should be more concerned about the content they produce, not the data they get.
How about China tracking where a dissenting Chinese ex-patriate is?
Also, did you read your own fucking comment? You asked why my government needs help from corporations to sway public opinion - my response simply clarified that foreign governments do.
Just look at what Russia did in 2016 as an example.
