Anti China propaganda.
All companies spy on you.
The only thing their mad is that the spying is not being done by them. That's it.
There wouldn't be so much anti-china propaganda, if the popular companies didn't do so much shit behind people's back to drown out the good things coming out of China.
I mean China is becoming a economic powerhouse, just make your companies not be backdoors until your influence and trust increase without competition. But nooooo, they have to do every worse thing other big tech companies do, but at a script-kiddie level.
The 'But, everyone is a bit evil' argument is such bullshit, the concern here is obviously the extent of the surveillance, but no one can say you're entirely wrong because the definition of that is so broad.
It's kind of technical, but there are comparisons on the report itself, even a fancy table, to other popular shopping apps and there are some legitimately troubling items. For anyone else, I'd recommend skipping direct to the source:
