minus-squareNONElinkfedilink59•18 days agoI have a Xiaomi phone. They already know everything about me.
minus-square@Corn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish18•17 days agoI mean I’d rather China know everything about me than America, since as an American citizen, America is a much bigger threat. But lets be honest, whether I get an iphone, samsung, or huawei, both countries are going to have all my data.
