They do not have significant power over companies NOT based in their country.
Yes, they do? If those companies want to maintain a presence in the US that is. All those US based companies have to comply with the GDPR or withdraw from counties within the EU. Considering how much their shareholders like money and how many users are in the EU the latter is not a real option here.
us gov IS controlled by us corps they banned tiktok to get rid of competition. with the ever green excuse in amerikkkan politics of appealing to racism
that is meaningless semantics. both words have multiple meanings, when i said politicians serve corporations i meant that they are ultimately subservient to them because they get paid by them and their live style is contingent on this servitude and that is a system of control in this context both words refer to the same thing.
in the example of the waitress she is being controlled when u call them or tell them to get u a certain food u are controlling their actions control doesn’t have to be absolute and it doent have to be forced.
a better example would be a social worker who helps people aka serves them but does not respond to them and are not controlled by the people they serve.
in the example of a prisoner there is control but no servitude sure, but it is trivial to think of an example where there is control and servitude like a serf, u know cuz world have different meaning and all.
Yes. But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used. They can’t control a chineese one.
Do you understand how the US government might think it’s a problem that foreign countries get access to every step their citizens take?
Does that matter if they don’t create said laws - since they’re equally interested in their citizens data as facebook, google, etc. are?
It does matter. Because the US can do it if they decide to. They have significant power over companies based in their country.
They do not have significant power over companies NOT based in their country.

Sure buddy. And 9/11 was an inside job and airplanes are spreading chem-trails to control the population and weather too.
imagine thinking the amerikkkan politicians dont serve corporations.
Serving and being controlled are two different things. Make up your mind. Which is is it?
its the same thing.
No. You can serve without being controlled. And you can be controlled without serving.
The waitress is serving me but they’re not being controlled. It’s something they choose to do.
And you can be controlled in what you say and so, without serving. E.g. a prisoner.
So no. They’re not the same.

Yes. Well done. Words does have different meanings. Some idiot previously said “its the same thing.”
Which is why I made the comment that they are not. The same thing. Glad you agree.
