It’s safe to say, don’t buy cameras from shady places.

“Iowa sued Temu and its Chinese parent company on Wednesday, claiming the online retailer violates Iowans privacy rights and exposes them to spying by the Chinese government.”

Also, Cyb3rMaddy Investigated a Camera from Temu. There is some truth to China harvesting your data. But! Data was also being sent to servers in the U.S.

      The word fear is not mentioned in that link. The whole point is, you shouldn’t want anybody collecting your data. From anywhere.

        But why does Iowa care so much more about China collecting data than the US? The fear is implied, we’re supposed to be scared of the evil foreigners having our data while the good ol’ US companies can be trusted. Otherwise, why focus on China?

        Come on, “spying by the Chinese government” is blatant fear mongering. Spying by the US government is far more concerning.

          It is just because Temu’s inventory primarily ships from manufacturing hubs and warehouses in China. But the primary headquarters is in Boston, Massachusetts. Interesting. China still spies but I don’t think as much as the U.S.

            Why does it matter that Temu’s inventory primarily ships from manufacturing hubs and warehouses in China?

            The implication is that we’re supposed to care because it’s China. Specifically, because it’s China. Why?
