While technically true, I feel that the argument here is that it's hard to buy a phone that doesn't needlessly track everything you do. When you buy a Chinese smartphone, all you're doing is replacing Google/Apple with a Chinese company that still does all that.
- rurban 6y agoYes, but you would not care about the information the Chinese government collects about you. Neither do they, unless you start doing political business with them. Very unlikely.
- meowster 6y agoThat's very shortsighted. You may not, but who knows about your friends, family, coworkers, etc. Even if you didn't have ties to China, or know anyone who does, foreign agents can still use that data against you in your home country if they decide they need you to do something (maybe you don't work on classified stuff, but you're a janitor that has access, or one of a million other possibilities). Lots of spying isn't done by foreign adversaries, it's done by the locals they recruit either via money/gifts, thrill, blackmail, etc.
