Sure pick something from the list that is an ongoing human rights violation from the government that they are using data harvesting to continue.

Bonus points if it's equivalent to GENOCIDE, which is what the ONGOING human rights violation in China is.

The data going to them helps them continue this GENOCIDE.

You like linking to wikipedia, which article from the list you linked is equivalent to my link?

Must meet the requirements of it being CURRENT and caused by the government DIRECTLY.

All cultures have a bad and violent history. What matters is your current morals.

How about the incidents described in this article: https://www.acslaw.org/expertforum/mass-surveillance-and-bla...
The US is not tracking down and transporting all blacks to work camps to "reeducate them" with the data they collect.

The CCP is doing this to their Uighur population. Do you not see the difference in extremes?

Hmm... so I guess the African Americans should be thankful that only some of them are being abused/oppressed by the government, that must be very comforting.
That article was about privacy, not about concentration camps or abuse. You are making a false equivalency.

Only one superpower right now is committing GENOCIDE against it's ethnic minorities.

You can downplay that as much as you want, and spit all the whataboutism you want, but it's still the truth.
