You already have NSA backdoors in your device.
What is your point exactly ?
Well, if you install this Riot Games rootkit, you now also have a Chinese backdoor.

Dude, I’m from Latin America, I prefer ANYONE but USA.
I’d much rather have the USA as a world leader, but considering that neither if them are anywhere near that level of control, giving my data to China is the better option.
If the US has my data and the worst case happens, i.e. anything in my data labels me as a terrorist (let’s be honest, nothing else matters to the NSA, they don’t care about your day to day life), then the possibility is high that my own government gets a hint and I’m locked up pretty quickly.
If China has my data the worst case is that I can’t set foot into China, that’s it.
Both options are shit, but having their data in China means less possible harm for anyone that isn’t a Chinese or Russian citizen.
Well, the world today kind of sucks and continues to decline and the US plays global police force which no one asked for.
I don’t support this existing, but does the nsa collect and sell all your data to third parties and make a shitload of money doing so? Because everyone else definitely does. I don’t know how difficult it is now, but some number of years ago you could request a copy of all the data some of the social media sites have on you and it’s fucking scary especially with how much is deduced, presumably from piecing together info from your entire social network.
