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.

        Did you not read the whole thing or do you just have to nit-pick?

        “Temu customers in Iowa have submitted dozens of complaints."

        “Temu “deceives Iowans about the quality of the products offered on its platform, flooding the United States and Iowa markets with substandard products,” which violates Iowa’s Consumer Fraud Act.”

        A state usually sues when they have actual evidence.

        They would still sue if it happened with any other manufactory.

          This also describes Amazon.

          Nothing will ever be done about it.

            Most Amazon products are also made in China. But Temu actually got caught in this case. You see? They got caught.

                  They’re a Chinese owned company. Amazon is not. Therefore, the Chinese owned company faces consequences, the US owned company does not.

                    Point being, they are still heavily connected with China. There actually might be some instances of Amazon being caught. Amazon gets sued all the time!
