Western corporate media’s wild rumors of GINA spyware > known NSA spyware.

Hey, it"s not bad if it's the US doing it... freedom for everyone

EternalBlue says hi

It's absolutely bad when the US does it. I made no claim otherwise. Cheap tech being used as an entry point for data mining the customers, regardless of country the products are sold in is pretty well documented at this point.

No different than the Amazon Echo devices, Google Assisstant hardware and other such devices being sold at a loss just to squeeze all that juicy data.

And people willingly put these spyware always on mic devices in their homes.

We need more awareness on privacy...

100% agree. I've only just started my privacy/self hosted journey almost exactly 1 year ago. Still learning, but I'm loving the experience so far.
