I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.
So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.
Man, that’s a pretty limited app list.
Good lord, what’s wrong with the other two?
They over-consumed the goods from those countries and they lost their minds.
As someone born and living in the US, I also don’t trust the US or China… or pretty much anyone with my data.
You can trust meeeeeeeee! What’s your first pets maiden name?
Data isn’t very valuable if you can’t transmit it.
At some point you need to trust someone
I think this is the right mentality to have.
4/5 of the people i know in the US don’t trust the US.
You can make that 6/7 (my wife and I).
Self-plagiarizing:
Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Poland, where Poland has by far the highest rate of trust in US and Chinese tech companies. Seems therefore like the five other countries might not be a representative sample of Europeans, even though total Polish trust of US tech companies still only amounts to 38% compared to ~15% in runner-up Italy.
Coincidentally™, Polish trust nearly triples over more “Western” countries, which shows that this clearly isn’t a representative sample of Europeans – definitely not enough to claim “8 in 10 Europeans”. (Politico actually changed the headline from earlier which didn’t claim this.)
At this point how does anyone trust anyone with their data?
10 in 10 Americans don’t trust Europeans, Chinese with data
Typical US citizen, butting into a conversation that isn’t even about you. We’re talking about global matters, not your backwater shithole.
