> The outrage bait about traffic being routed through China shouldn't matter too much to the common person, since we're mostly using TLS.

That should matter a lot to the common person, TLS or not doesn't matter, what matters is who talks to who, and who talks when. That information alone can give you many useful insights.

It’s a bold assumption that only China is tracking this info though. Mobile operators are some of the worst at selling ‘anonymised’ data on their users

		Is it not worth it to keep private data flowing through companies which we could hold to account and, perhaps later on, restrict from such practices, than flowing through a jurisdiction over which we have no control and which does not much care about our opinion?

Like saying 'It should not matter too much to the common person if most of their shit makes it into the toilet.'
