While I don’t disagree, I’d prefer a law protecting consumer privacy regarding all digital data use but this law was never about protecting consumers. China is an aggressive adversarial state to the United States and its allies. From the perspective of national security it makes sense to limit what data an adversary has of your citizens.
You’re right that everyone does it. The issue is how much access China has to the data in this case.
I don’t disagree that it’s frightening. I’m suggesting that it’s equally as frightening that any company has the same level of access, if not more.
