Perhaps a naive question: what's with this Chinese scare?
I understand that we live in the privacy-loving shadow of the NSA scandal, but reading the content of emails hush-hush (or even just the metadata, whatever it was) is one thing, and running servers for these short videos is another. Even if the Chinese government took hold of those, what sort of even theoretical exploitation would they be able to pull off?
What potential national security risk or ‘sensitive data’ are at stake?
