Balloon spy

Sure, maybe. But we don't see much evidence of anyone doing this with FB, YT, IG, other big platforms. WTH is 'China' supposed to try do with similar user data that's any different? It's just another online business, in it for advertising dollars.

I have absolutely nothing to hide, from any of them. Can cancel subscriptions at will, block anything at will, there simply is no threat that I can see. If Tik Tok is the latest hit, well I really don't care.

Maybe Oracle will sypher some side money off of the proposed arrangement. And maybe that is whose lobbyists our reps are cratering to. It's basically legalized cronyism here.
You need to take off the blinders,

The CCP is not a democratically elected government.

They are trying very hard to fool gullible western people, (and doing very well clearly), that they are democratic...

You are clearly feeling pressure - Did they fool you yet?

Look, you are smart enough to read, best get on with it.
You've got a lot of catching up to do.
Was just curious about how susceptible you are, given your expressed concerns about Chinese influence on you.

Try, try, try really hard to not turn into a balls-scratching lunatic please? You seem close to the edge.

It was just a balloon, relax.

I've never met any westerner that thought China was anything more than a dictatorship and a shithole. Have you ever been there? They ain't trying to fool anybody nor would they succeed.

you would think that balloons broke new ground in long range aerial surveillance
you do realize that planes and satellites have been doing this daily for decades

Lol …. this was a steerable balloon
Just to be clear, you are calling that a weather balloon?
Weather data from all over North America is published on scientific www’s and federal agencies, everything a scientist could want with a the click of the mouse
It was very obvious that you did not believe in science. How does this work?

You tell me. Even bullshitter News has to admit the truth eventually. That’s when it’s time for bullshitters to change the subject. What’s the next topic gonna be?
Well, Fox may have accurately reported on that un-named DOD official saying there were Chinese balloon overflights during the Trump administration. We now Mark Esper, Mike Pompeo, John Ratcliffe saying there were not.
