Yeah I hear this argument from libs all the time: "it's a natsec nightmare how an enemy government has planted sensors all over the inside of people's homes"
But why? Why does it matter at all that China can know what American people are doing in their homes, what they're interested in, etc? Is it for military reasons? Are you worried that Chinese robots are gonna land and have a floor plan of every tiktok user's house? Or are you worried because knowing a lot about American people means they can market their products better? Like seriously how does it affect natsec, I can only really imagine ways in which it affects commerce and industry but not natsec. And as far as commerce goes, who cares?
I think some are worried about some silly zoomer later becoming a senator and now the government has all this dirt on them from harvesting their private messages and other info to be able to blackmail them into doing what China wants.
Which is also very far fetched and ridiculous.
Not to mention, do they think domestic entities won't do the same lmao?
Lockheed Martin will just quietly send part of the blackmail dossier to you when you vote against defense spending
Yeah ngl i don’t think “People might have internet history of politicians” is really a downside here, I want that shit publicized as a requirement for accepting the job
