MIUI does not comply with GPL.
Richard Stallman is rolling in his grave.
I can't buy this.

what can go wrong?
you're getting spied on because source code is not released.

I have no proof, but what are they hiding by not releasing source for linux kernel, which is under GPL.
what owners can do is monitor their traffic, easiest way is through wifi. if you have a decent router you can log them.

I was checking out some cheap phones to get for my pops, even the huawei 3c, users reported the gps was blaring off during first use. that is highly suspicious.

Of course this is all just speculation, but if you're not paranoid after all the spying revelation you only have yourself to blame.

muh paranoid android.

enjoy your chinese botnet.

if you don't know what you're looking at,
your messaging app is connecting to an ip in china.

muh cloud.
sms uses the telco network. why would it go to xiaomi server.
are they just backing up your messages? how do you recover the messages then? try to wipe your phone see if it restores your messages.

in the article, xiaomi defended they would encrypt your messages. did you create a key or password for it? no? that means the key is with xiaomi. that is not how privacy works.

they said they wouldn't use the info against you, that just mean they won't directly threaten you, nothing about data mining, etc.

xiaomi is doing this without any user permission, i know botnet when i see one.

they can't even release the kernel source which is under gpl and you're suppose to just trust them?

you guys are just in denial.
this isn't just baseless paranoia, it smells fishy afterall.

cyanogenmod will be the best solution but that will take time if there's even a developer working on it.
otherwise use a firewall and ban china.

you get what you paid, in this case you sold yourself for a telephone. how cheap.
you have been warned.

they want you to stop playing with your telephone and do your work.

companies are run by people, people do idiotic things.

>sabotage

muh conspiracy!

>i don't have nothing to hide
businesses runs on information. who do you think will benefit if your info is leaked?
that is just one example.

you're a sheep.
