Wouldn't be surprised if this gets pushed under the carpet. However, if an international company is supposedly spying on people then it's WW3 in the marking
Let's divert public attention and ban Huawei, problem solved and people feel safe and secure.
Anonymous, 01 Feb 2020Great if you don't want any kind of cell coverage for the near future. Until you get millions ... moreThe target audience will use the phone exactly the way you'd describe without issue
It isn't about buzzwords buddy, do you see crpto being used mainstream? I don't think so
Would you bring up similar points for the deep web even though these same people that use the deep web still uses the regular internet?
[deleted post]Really? What are those " block from basic rights and freedoms " that you are talking about?

Until you get millions of people using the device, you won't have any kind of private network access. Oh wait, you want to make phone calls "now"? Or internet access over the cell network "now"? Well luckily it takes a nano-sim. Unfortunately that will contact cell towers. Which is exactly how the carriers got user location data in the first place. Or maybe take your changes with wifi.
Just goes to show if you throw enough buzzwords into the description of a phone that people will believe anything.

Fines won't drive any changes, try firing some top executives and banning them from the industry instead.
US carriers are no threat to the national security.. let's accuse somebody else for the same BS... there'll be enough empty minded people who'll buy that...
US: "Huawei gathered inof of users just like google, apple and facebook did!"
BAN THEM!
US: our own carriers sold customers locations and info!
Ok.

[deleted post]They won't.
Remember, US citizens did not care when Snowden exposed the NSA spying on foreigners. But they got angry when Snowden also exposed that the same organization was spying on them too.
*claps, (repeatedly)*
Well done USA. 'Well f***in done.' Now thats capitalism at its very best. Selling users location no-less, to the highest bidder, whoever they maybe. Wow. Just wow.
Huawei might've been doing it for their own spying/national interests, (proof doesn't yet exist, but I'm sure they're somehow doing it), however this was pure greed. 100%. Congress should make an example of these 'one or more carriers' by fining them for billions each and hand the collected fines over to the victim American people.
Shame.
I'm dumbfounded!
Oh wait, I'm not, as long as we have single points of failure they would always ... fails. If you have to trust someone you can as well trust noone. Such important info should always be stored and maintained in a decentralized, we are early days of the digital era, no wonder we are such savages still...
No surprise here
