    A lot of Chinese phones use Snapdragon, so you can rest easy knowing Chinese companies don’t have access to your location or some other bullshit

    Meanwhile NSA has their hands so far up your ass you need a guest appearance on The Muppets

    This entire “technological sinophobia” is nothing but the evolution of yellow peril racism

      Hey, look at this guy! He thinks Qualcomm gives a shit about his privacy!

      Both American and Chinese phones use Snapdragon chips. If the American government is spying on you, despite your phone having said Snapdragon, what makes you think the Chinese government isn’t also spying?

      Your whataboutism is slightly concerning, it’s not like China is also home to Hauwei or anything…
