So is the consensus here that we care about privacy and treat every threat seriously or when it comes to anything involving China or our favorite company we make excuses and ignore any alarm bells?
Privacy should be a serious concern for everyone and this should be taken seriously.
- antocv 12y agoExactly. The purpose of many many apps and even manufacturers, cough Apple, and Googles "services" is to collect as much data as possible, including privacy violations. This is fine, because the companies and the data is stored and can be accessed US government agencies.

- SG- 12y agoI completely disagree with you lumping Apple and Google together as equals in terms of data collection and what happens with that collected data.
- fit2rule 12y agoWhere's the double standard? Apple have been getting into trouble as well in the last few days, with their privacy-stealing new features in OSX Yosemite. This idea that there is a duplicity with regards to Chinese companies versus Western ones is, itself, duplicitous. Any company that violates privacy gets itself in hot water - that is the nature of the security business in the modern age.
