While I fully agree that the sending of user information by Nokia (or HMD Global to be specific) to Chinese servers was inacceptable breach of trust, I do think it was blown out of proportion https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=fi&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Farchive.is%2FIUU5k https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=fi&tl=en&u=htt... That's a translated version of an article where HMD explains it was part of the software included for Chinese phones as required by the Chinese cyber laws. Which to me seems very plausible, but well it was a big screwup on HMD's part. I am not really comfortable with any Chinese made phones, like my own One Plus, but yet there isn't really better options out there. I'm not sure does One Plus still come with the backdoor capable software pre-installed https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/7ugzgy/oneplus_continues_its_shady_practices_by_rolling/ https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/7ugzgy/oneplus_con... Shame really, that there hasn't been bigger blowback towards China for their security practises which seem to be a major cause of this.
