At first I thought you were being serious, but I think this is a joke? That Americans don't care how many companies spy on them as long as it's not the government?
Which, is laughable because of course the government has contacts at everyone one of these companies and they'd gladly hand over your data then go to court to protect it
It should be a known fact at this point that US companies share all the data the goverment wants, i don't think the greater influence matters in this case.
This is sort of true, though it’s hard to make a clear distinction between US capitalists and the US government when the capitalists control the government, and have since the 1776 bourgeois revolution.
China is a proletarian state, where the capitalist class is not in control: China's housing minister says real estate developers must go bankrupt if necessary
Whereas the US is a bourgeois state, where the capitalist class is in control.
