    So that title is just a straight up lie. They want to use a de-googled Android.

    To be honest I was hoping for an alternative OS, competition is always good. But a de-googled Android could possibly be good, but being Chinese I assume instead of Google telemetry you’ll just be replacing it with CCP telemetry.

      Indded but as an Australian, if I have to have an anal probe i’d rather it from the CCP as they wont share it with my Government.

      Honestly, I think a person in either nation should consider using the opposing nation’s stuff. Harder for the US to backdoor Chinese encryption, or for Chinese to backdoor into an American phone. Play the bastards off each other.

      Odds are, that the Trump Regime will use American apps and phones to identify and track targets for ICE traffickers. China probably does the same to Uighurs. The less attack surfaces they have, the better for their respective peoples.

        Except that there are credible reports of the CCP running police operations on foreign soil.

      I mean judging by the current American government id much rather my data is going to the CCP then the American Government via Google as a proxy.

        I think it’s just that they were saying his won’t end up benefitting us. It’s just changing who is holding the binoculars.
