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.

                    Wow! You can’t even read, you retard!

                    “Amazon agreed to a $5.8 million settlement with the FTC following claims that Ring allowed employees and contractors unrestricted access to customer video data. The company was also hit with a class-action lawsuit in Seattle alleging its cameras collected and stored “face prints” of bystanders without consent.”

                    “Alexa & Fire TV: Amazon paid a $25 million penalty to settle FTC allegations that it violated children’s privacy by holding onto Alexa voice recordings longer than necessary. Additionally, a proposed class action accuses Amazon of utilizing Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to secretly spy on consumers’ Fire TV viewing habits to sell targeted ads.”

                    That is being punished!

      I said, a lot earlier in the comment chain:

      But why does Iowa care so much more about China collecting data than the US?

      And it was in a thread where the OP is about Iowa. That was the context in which I said Amazon won’t face consequences. I was clearly talking about Iowa law and why Iowa targeting Temu is biased, you bringing up Biden’s FTC making decisions three years ago to refute this. You aren’t seriously engaged with what I have to say, you just want to “win” the discussion.

      I hate talking to redditeurs.

          Again, you aren’t engaging with what I have to say. You’re just firing off responses as fast as you can to “win” the posting rpg.

          This was about Iowa. You did nothing to show that Iowa gives a shit about Amazon and isn’t applying a doubled standard.

            Iowa is just a state that had evidence of this. That is all. I don’t know why you are so upset with this random state.

              This thread is about Iowa. I don’t know why you can’t stay on topic. Iowa is targeting Temu because they’re Chinese and won’t go after US companies that do the exact same things, or worse, because they’re US companies. I don’t know why you refuse to talk about Iowa in a thread about Iowa.

                  I never once did that. I never said the article is false. My points were always:

                  1. Temu is doing what every other US company is doing, and US companies collecting our data are more dangerous because they can actually hurt me.

                  2. A double standard is being applied to Temu because of Chinese ownership, and reporting on this without acknowledging that double standard is propaganda.

                    There are other companies getting sued! This was just a very specific instance. You even mentioned Amazon and they were sued too.
