Facebook done this over a decade and people don't batter an eye lid.

Just like Google then?

Only Samsung for me from now on.

Like Google and Microsoft you mean. Who'd have thought it. pisspoorjournalism

😨

Why ppl still buying HuaweiMobile Xiaomi or other Chinese devices I will never know!

Simple if conclusively proved ban sale and distribution of all their products.

Will we never learn? Shut them down... nothing coming out of China can be trusted.

Iphone and Samsung do the same thing too. That is how they make money.

I’m shocked.

Which device doesn't collect personal data?

Of course researchers searched 'porn'

What’s surprising ⁉️

There not they only one every comp on the planet is doing it.

macroeconPhD Ohh no.. 'I can't believe a Chinese company was spying on its users.' Said no one ever.

CCP can get all the contact information and call records, name, address, email, no private security

But all phone companies do that... It's not a surprise..Or it's supposed to be a surprise coz it's not a 'Major Western country' company doing that? Moment you install an app it ask for access to messages, contacts etc..This news article thinks people are foolish...

Imagine that? A cellphone with a COVID-19 type virus bulit-in!

Firstly this is not a news. What do you expect of China? Also why do you think android is opensource and free? That's US way of doing the same

That’s nothing. Our government has given our NHS data to Amazon.

I'll take my chances....

Don't make it too easy.....

I'm moving to Google, oh hang on 🤔

NSA already does it way more advance also

Trust me you do not want to see my browsing history atm...
