@bildoperationen@tldr.nettime.org @hito@tldr.nettime.org this shit is all going to fall on its head in short order. The US can't compete with the data trove China has with their all encompassing WeChat app sucking up all data points on everyone all at once. Unless these Silicon Demigods get over themselves and merge, or the US goes full fascist and forces a US surveillance superApp on the public, it's just assholes playing with wealth transfer machines.
