          Maybe I’m missing the vibe here, but are you guys still talking about the subject of this post? If so, just a heads-up: all three apps mentioned in the title have been banned in China for well over a decade.

            Right. Like the license plate readers, and backdoor in every operating system, and phone tracking… Wait we are talking about the US right?

              No, the topic was Canada and moving to China for less surveillance and more privacy, my confused friend. The west is regressing to where China already is and then plus some.

                If you mean Internet monitoring and social media policing… Wait are we talking about the UK?
