Those companies will through the QQ to get our information. It makes them to violate our privacy easily. Only one website can cover the whole cyber community that sounds boring and limitable, even the Tencent tries to make it more enormous, but a huge cyber community is what we want.

Having all your information on one site doesn't appeal to me. "It's not good to have all your eggs in one basket" as they say. It seems convenient, but if something were to happen to the site or something were to happen to your information on the site then everything would probably go down together. Also going back to companies stealing (buying and selling) user addresses; this web site would probably make it easier for them to do so. For some this may seem like a great and convenient site, but I don't think that I'd be one to use it.
Tencent has monopolized a large part of the Chinese internet based industry. When one company has a tremendous amount of power and very little competition it often leads to corruption.
