Not only does Google get information on what we search for, it also gets to find out which search results we click on. ... the sheer amount of generic user data that Google has on its hands is a huge competitive advantage against most other companies, a veritable gold mine.

Your ok with google/apple etc...etc...mining your searches .... But your worried about china getting your info? Well, never mind that smart TV, or smart speaker in your home.....let alone the frigen government monitoring every step of the way.

Good Luck!

If you have purchased from OnePlus using a credit card keep a close eye on your statement. It sounds like they have been hacked.

Alibaba happen to have a very large cloud service in Asia just like Amazon, Google, Microsoft etc. They also have a large data center in California.
