Back when Grindr was owned by a Chinese company there was concerns that data from the platform could be used to blackmail western politicians and civil servants.
I can’t remember the details but my point is - just because you don’t live in China it doesn’t mean you’re risk free.
Honestly, that was the sum totality of my intention. If you would like to review the logs and tell me where my language reflected differently, I would love to know about it because I never had an intent to say anything else.
Not proud, not ashamed. I’m just using my ignorance of something to evaluate a risk, which is certainly a flawed and lazy algorithm, but probably operates better than chance.
You know the two aren’t really the same, right?

That’s worse, not better. Ignorance of the danger is not an advantage.
I find your inability to understand why an American is more afraid of ICE than a Chinese government agency really perplexing.
But, in honor of your concern, I will forthwith carry a rock that keeps away Chinese agents.
that’s. not. what. you. were. saying.
you are just ignorant and proud of it.

are you proud of not knowing something?
