That I even have to ask this question about a Nokia phone is just mind blowing and utterly telling about the appalling state of digital privacy in general.

- unionpivo 8y agoDon't want to shill too much for nokia (or HTE), but it was fixed, and since it affected only one phone out of their line up I believe them, it wasn't intentional. Edit: typos
- josteink 8y agoSomething like that doesn’t happen by accident though. Someone had to write that code. For some configurations, markets or customers this was intentional behavior. Maybe it wasn’t meant for everyone. This time. But if Nokia let it slip once, I see no reason not to be skeptical of future models. They lost my trust. Now they’ll have to re-earn it.
- xrisk 8y agoYes, that code was written for the model meant to be sold in China. I can completely understand how it might have accidentally been bundled onto a non-Chinese model.
