I'm sure some legal wonder-kid would make slight work of your 'opt-out' preferences when it's for some form of 'national security'.

Sure. Except that your three cousins opted in and they're 95% the same.

The problem is that the CCP sees data as the new oil, and ML/AI as the new industrialization to process it, whether the data is inside or outside China.

The CCP is in the forced organ harvesting business to finance their national hospital system, so I hope you or your family don't get a match in their database, as the CCP has global reach.
