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.
It’s the same data Amazon and most e-tailers collect. The difference between Temu and Amazon is Jeff Bezos attended Trump’s inauguration, while Temu is a competitor based in China, which the US considers its greatest enemy.
Yeah, that’s how email has always worked. Even if you go out of your way to use Proton, PGP, or S/MIME, your metadata is still in plaintext.
Thank you for pointing out the blatant US/western propaganda…
Most nations have ways of spying anyway. Shit, there was a convicted Chinese spy tied to an Arcadia mayor in the U.S. This whole thing isn’t propaganda. Though the U.S. for sure spies on its own people, maybe more than other countries do.

It’s propaganda, because we’re supposed to be afraid of China spying on us while our own government spies on us.
What are China’s spies even going to do to me?
The U.S is just collecting my data, what are they even going to do to me?.. It’s all about your data. That is the whole point. It’s not about fearing China. The word fear is not mentioned in that link.
Rough you up, put you in prison, kill you, etc. My government can actually hurt me. China can’t do shit.
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.
“I didn’t use the word fear therefore it isn’t fear mongering” lol
It’s not much mongering as they have proof. Just like the Amazon ones.
The US can send shit to my government. China isn’t part of the five eyes or whatever.
Or the eyes wide shut?
Send cops to your door, imprison you, kill you, etc. The US has many political prisoners, and even jailed a mother for discussing abortion with her teenage daughter over facebook.
This happened in The UK just for viewing or liking a post.
Which doesn’t change the point which is that your own government has far more agency over you than a foreign one.
Not my government. I am just here to help.
