It simply isn’t. Remember snowden? The NSA? TAO? Pegasus? Our government is simply more open and honest with us (might be a side effect of having real democracy as opposed to a charade put on by bought candidates every 4 years). Also before you say that’s just America, Europe are American vassal states all of these and more (since this is just what has leaked) are deployed against Europeans too and intel is shared in deals like five eyes.
Yeah I remember all of those things. The complete lack of capacity to send an end to end encrypted message will tell you that it’s worse there.
Fill me in on this “real democracy” like I’m not American and pretend I live somewhere with proportional representation where anyone can run for office, because I do.
The method of voting isn’t what makes it real democracy it’s the class content of the state and the fact that voting is a ritual for representatives that will only ever serve capital as opposed to voting being a single part of a daily system of feedback and interaction with deputies embedded in the grassroots situation who need accomplishments (to solve our problems) to go for higher offices. There’s a reason the number of billionaires in China is shrinking while public services and social safety nets are constantly seeing investment while in Europe and America austerity for the masses and tax cuts for the rich is law.
End to end encrypted
Nice vibes based analysis sort of redundant when they have backdoors on every piece of technology deployed there or the fact that most end to end encrypted messages are some mix of lying and insecure like WhatsApp.
I use signal and I’m free to. I’m confident it’s secure. Confident enough that my wife can send me a titty pic without someone looking at it. I would not do that with WeChat.
You call out a straw man about it being back doored when you’ve no idea that’s the case but we’re certain it is in China.
You go ahead and try to create an end to end encrypted messaging platform there and see what happens.
Making a statement that online surveillance there is no different from elsewhere will get you that kind of response tbh. It is measurably worse.

Hell… use pgp in your WeChat. See what happens.
