Smartphones with Qualcomm chips were found to send private user information, including IP address, unique ID, mobile country code, back to the U.S. chipmaker, according to a report by the German security company Nitrokey first released on April 25.
Sure they are much more notorious, but as it turns out most of the time there is absolutely no reason for that. Just take current hysteria around TikTok, even if it was correct (which I would argue it isn’t) no one cares about all the other apps that we know for sure spy on you and give info to US government (and others).
notorious to americans maybe… the rest of the world is probably far more wary of the US and for good reason… you dont become the hegemon by playing by the rules you make right?
Hysteria?? There’s undeniable proof that TikTok does a shit ton of data gathering. You fucking tankies always act like China is some ray of utopia and hail Mao and Xi like they’re some kind of deities.
Never said the US Government wasn’t a problem, but why do you act like China doesn’t do shit either?

No one is saying that TikTok isn’t collecting a shit ton of data on its users. They’re pointing out that this has been an ongoing problem with tech that burgers have been using for a long time, but that the burger regime didn’t so much as make a peep until it was a Chinese tech company doing the same thing. You don’t need to be a communist to see the double standards at play here.
