Is this bad? yes Is It worse than Google and Meta’s SDKs being present in every app? no, it’s just as bad

For US users it’s probably worse. As much as we may think our government doesn’t like us, the Chinese government likes us much less.
Is this true? I've thought a lot about this of whether it's better for domestic or foreign intelligence services to have your data. Like, yeah foreigners likely have less regard for me but it's not like the CIA gives a shit about my life. And they're much more able to act on any information they have compared to the CCP.

That being said, it's probably mostly academic because in reality it's likely that my information is accessible by both types haha

> no, it’s just as bad

Google and Apple are capturing data from milions of apps.
