The espionage in numerous colleges across US from chinese professors is more than enough. This story isn't different from any phone company though. They all profit from collecting user data and selling it to adverts.

r, 01 May 2020Im not even surprised. This is probably why their smartphone is cheaper than others. Plus the ads revenue, now someone knows, every time I have tried to warn not to trust any of these "cheap" phone manufacturers, my comments have been heavily unwelcome to say the least.

Bizarre. Every tech company collects user data. And what's the big fuss over incognito mode? All incognito modes clearly state that your activity is visible to the sites you visit, your internet provider, your employer or school.
The timing of this is interesting. Just when the Trump administration is searching for more ammunition against the CCP. Collecting data is a sad reality in our lives. The only way to save yourself from that is using landline phones, stop using the internet, cards, online transactions or even having a bank account.
Oh and GSMa, it is browsing data. Not browisng data. This report seems to have been filed in tearing hurry.
