Can't open the link because of rate limiting - hn effect?
Anyway, is any phone-home spying? What if it phones US servers, say Google's? Unfortunately I can't think of a popular brand that doesn't spy on its users (no matter what the reasons are).
- timecube 8y agoTwitter's mobile site does that all the time, just refresh and it'll work.
- reissbaker 8y agoIt's not just a phone-home. It's sending your entire browsing history (unencrypted!): every web request you make gets sent back to servers in China.
- thisgoodlife 8y agoThat's interesting. Links please?
- lulwot 8y agothats not entirely true, while isp's do get a copy of your plain text data if its not end to end encrypted(and likely offsell it), bgp routes would likely need to hijacked or somehow compromised while the data was in transit for a chinese server to get a copy of that data
- jake_the_third 8y agoI am having a very hard time believing this statement is in any way true. If you have a link to details, now is the time to provide it.
- reissbaker 8y agoCheck the Twitter link posted elsewhere in this thread of a security researcher finding exactly that.
