alt Hacker NewsI am not excited about any of it, but like... Corporations in America can still refuse/fight government requests for data, they can disclose how many requests they get for the year, and there is judicial oversight on the requests.
In China if the government makes a request for data the courts are not involved, the company has no ability to push back and they cannot disclose any info about government requests.

They can also voluntarily give it over, and as part of a contract for money
US courts aren't exactly as independent as they used to be (and some of them, like national security and immigration courts never were). The difference between the US and China is at best a matter of procedure, not outcome.
