What about Lenovo, Aliexpress, Xiaomi, Didi (It's famous in latam), BYD, NIO?

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit....

Lenovo definitely deserves to be banned after that shit they pulled with the malicious root certificates.

Didi (Chinese Uber) is very popular in Australia too.

I think it should depend on the software and what's being collected & shared, also where it's hosted.

While Lenovo has have some securities risk & concerns in the past. You can circumvented a lot by installing a fresh copy of windows or Linux. They don't really havest data or track you like TikTok does. There is no algorithm, no influence on politics or feeding propaganda.

I think TikTok would be okay, if Android had a better sandbox environment (like GrapheneOS), but google also wants your data..
