      Everyone’s entire life is on Wechat. It started life as an add your friends and send photos and texts app but now it rules your life. 100% your whole chat log is archived and analyzed by AI. I only ever worked for folding money so despite everything in their records they can’t prove I ever took money. I know a man who got deported because he took mobile payments. Another I heard about got busted because he stupidly marked his workplace as “work” on his map app and took a Didi there every day. When he said he was legal the cops held up his phone and said, why’s this say it’s your work? I tried adding APKs and my Xiaomi 15 auto-blocked them on security grounds. I was able to disable it and install them but at the bar there’s a Huawei tablet I cannot get to play MP3s. Streaming only, which sucks.
