As someone concerned with privacy, this is a fantastic endorsement of Hauwei lol

But evil Chinese company is spying on you! Only western intelligence is supposed to be able to do that!

Proud owner of Huawei 2018 Matebook X Pro. Beautiful laptop, still running strong today. I put on Manjaro and KDE. I had Huawei products before they were cool

Would using a US mobile carrier render a Huawei useless in terms of anonymity?

Rad af.

I also wonder how many of those Hamas drones were made in China?

Example #1917 of every Western accusation is a confession, "Evil orientals will bug your phone" edition

I would swap to Huawei next time i have to replace my phone but Canada has barred them from 5G networks and will likely further stifle them in the future. By the time I'm changing phones years down the road I expect Huawei won't even be available in Canada.

I’m in the same boat with wanting Huawei but living in Canada. They’re messing with Huawei because of suspected “spying” right? So why aren’t they doing the same with other phone brands?

because they can spy on those phones but not Huawei lol

What is most likely?

  • Chinese company building better technology that can't be compromised by westoid espionage, or
  • Rebels fighting a high-tech surveillance empire practiced good opsec by relying on analog communication

Okay, both are likely. I still think the latter is most likely though.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Not mutually exclusive. They obviously must have good opsec, and having secure phones is part of that.
