I mean, Google most certainly is spyware so I don’t see how it’s wrong.

Google most certainly is spyware

Just like every single bit of Huawei software, they just send your data to the Chinese government instead lol

I'd trust a Huawei phone less than I would a Google phone. Much less.

Hands down the worst phone I've had was the Nexus 6P. The battery issues were incredibly bad, to the point there was a successful class action lawsuit about it.

Since that was a Google phone manufactured by Huawei, I have no idea how that contributes to this conversation but it seemed relevant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Google is a virus. Just like all the chinese spyware you find on a Huawei phone.

Unfortunately, it's true... Monitoring, data collection, implementing ads, and there's so little security for our accounts. Idk, I've been using Google less than ever since ChatGPT came out. And DuckDuckGo.

I thought Huawei wasn't able / allowed to use Google Services due to the tradewar...

[-] kadu@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

They aren't.

But Android is Android, users can install any APK they want

Based Huawei

[-] netchami@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Oh yeah the Chinese garbage phone that has tons of spyware and will send your data to the CCP is so based because it doesn't include Google spyware. Makes sense.

[-] astropenguin5@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

1%based for calling Google malware 99% bullshit for being probably at least equally bad

[-] hark@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

and what will the CCP do with that information? Meanwhile, I know that the NSA, CIA, FBI, local law enforcement, countless advertising agencies, and all sort of other agencies in the US that can actually do things with that information. Even if you don't live in the US, chances are that you live in a country with an extradition treaty with the US.

Someone in my family had this, reluctantly restarted the phone to make the message go away as I found it to be a very dodgy sounding message. Good to know that it won't do any long term damage to hit ignore the next time it pops up.
