    china isn’t much better - they’re much more notorious for their backdoors.

    edit: before (admittedly you all already have) started throwing pitchforks at me for being a glowie, i live in eastern europe, and am an anarchist. i am no way saying that the U.S. has not done it’s fair share of global surveillance - honestly i’m more concerned about the U.S. because they seem to have their claws in about every single service and company. i just don’t think we should be absolving china of all of their wrongdoings just because they’re an enemy to the U.S.

        what, you think I don’t know about PRISM? hell, snowden’s leaks were in 2012, NSA’s got a lot more advanced shit now. i’m just trying to say that the enemy of the enemy is not your friend. just because china is an enemy of the U.S. does not absolve china of all of its wrongdoing.
