> You're thinking Chinese surveillance
> US-based surveillance helps victims and prevents more victims
the big irony, of course, is that i'm much more comfortable with China surveilling me than the US, since the latter can throw me in jail, seize my assets, and ruin my family's life, while the former cannot.
I’m not trying to say the US government is faultless but it amazes me how often I see this kind of anti-democratic institition sentiment.
I'm not sure this is as axiomatic as many think, in 2025
