Well... Given that the average person neither knows what data they are effectively giving US and Chinese companies, nor does anything against it, this poll is asking the wrong questions. Massive amounts of data collected for every single individual via ad-based surveillance (US) and IOT devices phoning home (China) is the reality we live in today. But the average person does not know about it and therefore can't even grasp what is done to them. They don't trust them, but they hand over the data anyway. This is basically a poll amongst cows in the slaughterhouse.
