yes. imagine getting denied at the border or something because of data you shared with deep seek,WeChat or any other china centric service

[peyton]

Definitely would select the frowny face if that happened.

Might as well answer yes to the "are you a subversive" question

[mannanj]

the US does that to you too, for not liking your opinions about particular parties or intelligence aparati.

[inerte]

I think martin_henk is fully aware of that and it's why of all the examples of how a government can use your data, he picked this one...

[2ndorderthought]

Are you actually planning on travelling out of the country right now? It's probably not a good idea even if you don't use Chinese products, which by the way you definitely do.

[dylan604]

The people that travel out of the country are typically not the same ones aligned with the current administration. The vast majority of the MAGA base are more likely to not have a passport, while a large portion have probably never left their state.
