The argument goes, that if they can target you for ads they can also correlate this with political beliefs, your ethnicity, your financial situation and so one.

If you want a credit and you are friends with people who don't pay back their debts you are also a risk for the bank and get a higher rate.

If you want an insurance and you are a extrem cyclists you won't get one.

If you open a shopping side and they know you can afford it, they mark up the price. (Udemy is ridiculously doing this)

Yes, this is death by a thousand paper cuts.

What could the Chinese Government do with the data? Lower or rise your social credit score? Stop you from visiting China. Throw you in Jail for watching Winnie Poo?

All the other tech giants were in the US and so we didn’t have to worried about this. At least if you weren't a terrorist or behaved like one. Now China has a totally different agenda.

Is it okay to be LGBTQ in China? What happeneds if you watch a TikTok with this theme?
