On: To Cover China, There’s No Substitute for WeChat

[samstave]

Serious question:

We bitch and moan in the US about NSA-Google-FB-Amazon etc spying on private conversations/things we say outloud etc.

Why on EARTH would you want a Chinese WeChat account, assuming you had any privacy concerns in a country like the US?

You say we but there is no hivemind, just a bunch of bees, and some are less privacy conscious than others.

I have friends in a China and there is no other way to talk to them.

Also, I don’t live in China.
