Did you read the article? Qualcomm legal team replied saying "yes we exfiltrate data, see this privacy policy".
What else do you need ?
- Animats 3y agoSo it's in Qualcomm's privacy policy. So what? Where did the consumer agree to that? If the phone never went through Google activation, no transaction ever happened which bound the consumer. Class action lawsuit time.

- nomel 3y ago> What else do you need ? Evidence/details of the very specific claims that go beyond that.
- fsflover 3y agoEven if there is no evidence today, they can start doing it at any moment. Are you fine with that? Are you checking your connections every day?
- rcxdude 3y agoThere isn't actually evidence of that. These connections are actually being done by the OS, which you can control if you are using an open-source ROM. Just because on OS doesn't currently change the defaults from the manufacturer doesn't mean others are the same (in fact, grapheneOS goes to some lengths to strip as much of the identifying information vanilla android sends as they can, proxies this through their own server, and gives you an option of disabling it altogether). The default behaviour of AGPS on android is concerning and a big privacy violation, but this article felt the need to add some extra BS to scare you into buying their hardware specifically.
- mk89 3y agothe payload!!! even a fake one… :) jokes aside, I also don’t understand the criticism. The author even took the effort to write Qualcomm, and they admitted to this!
