/g/ was right again

Did you even have doubts? China is all in for an information warfare with the USA. Why did you think they bought opera?

>>56610204
>xiaomi both works like shit AND is a botnet
holy fuck I'm dying of laughter over here

This is news?

Apple and M$ are botnets too. Are you suprised? A big company uses you phone ID to do some statistics? Read the Terms you agree when you use a phone.

Do you have something to hide from our chinese overlords?

>>56610204
>Xiaomi's MIUI is botnet
More news at 12.

Always flash a CM. It's lightweight, more familiar and there's at least a chance you will not get a botnet.

>>56610204
dude its made by the Chinese of course it has spying. Also all you opera users china just bought it switch to iridum or another privacy browser.

Xiaomi is no worse than Apple, Google, Microsoft, or any other company really.
Its safest to assume that everything is botnet unless it is free software (and even then be weary because that can be botnet too —see Ubuntu).

Is OnePlus a hornet as well?

>>56610552
>privacy browser

When will this shitty meme end? If a browser keeps cookies, keeps history, executes all scripts by default, doesn't use HTTPS when available, doesn't block all ads and only has the placebo "do not track" shit enabled then it's not a privacy browser.

It takes literally a single connection to an ad company server for you to lose your device and browser fingerprint to a huge network of advertisers. Even if you have the do not track shit on they'll still easily identify you everywhere you go by matching fingerprints. Absolute placebo.

>using stock rom

>>56610688

I switched back to stock rom on Nexus 5 because I got tired of unrooting and rerooting to install monthly security updates

>>56610541
CM is botnet CM13 and up are full botnet mode
Almost every chink phone comes with malware preinstalled
Just set iptables to lock everything you don't need

Are chinkphones even flashable with custom ROMs?

I have one mediatek phone with good specs but there iare 0 CM roms available for it. are pajeets even trying?

God tier phone but botnet and bloatware OS. 0 custom roms.
Pajeets have failed us.

>>56610727
>Stallman
it's part of their business model
they mine data to sell it to the advertisers
they sometimes even push ads to the device
and in worse case scenario (witnessed myself twice) they push unwanted apps to your device (like in article)
absolute worst case scenario would be stealing your paypa/aliexpress/gmail/ebay/whatever accounts and it probably occasionally happens on some uber cheap devices too

it could be company policy, or it could be rogue dev trying to get rich, it could be even chinese government

I agree completely.

>>56610717
What happened to cm13 for it to be botnet? Some sort of analytics packaged within cm13?

cyanogay went full corporate mode, that's enough for me
they are shilling third part apps, and probably working their ass of trying to hide some ad machine inside their rom
at this rate we'll get monthly subscriptions

>>56610855
The Chinese of course.

Americans are fat, that's disgusting.

I think you mean (((white))) americans.
Anyhow, my government has no ties to the Chinese government, so realistically they can't and won't do shit to me.

>>56610855
polan here, china all the way.
usa is garbage tier, we only tolerate them because they push off the russians. if there were no ruskies most eu countries would sever connections to usa since its a shithole.

my vountry is also startings lots of trade partnerships with china, they are nicer to us

>>56610723
Snapdragon based ones surprisingly tend to have many ROMs. Redmi 1s for example, it has 7 pages on xda "Android development".

>>56611480

Android is called a botnet literally all the time, you fucking moron.

Who cares, I have nothing to hide

>>56614832
Sir, you are stupid.

Chinks don't share data with any other country. So Westerners are safe.

>>56610204
Unless it does something malicious like DDOS or send spam email then it's not a botnet dipfuck.

Any good Firewall apps that don't require root?

So /g/
What ROM is actually not a botnet ?

>>56616747
CyanogenMod withput GApps?

>>56615795
nope. You could use a local VPN server. But every system service would be able to bypass this.

>>56615193
>invasion of privacy isn't malicious

Only passively and my statement still stands Unless it sends out mass spam emails and is used in DDOS attacks it is not a botnet.

My girlfriend is Chinese and she doesn't even trust them. They've built an entire business culture around deceiving and tricking one another, and once they've tricked everyone they can back home, they go abroad.

Not like the Americans are much better, mind you, but at least American businesses don't wantonly abuse their customers by putting out utter garbage.

>>56610855
If anything, the chinese.

They have less experience as a surveillance entity, and have a less chequered history.

>>56610855
The whole point is to not trust anyone, dipshit.
Treat everyone with an equal degree of suspicion.
Asians, Whites, Jews, Blacks, etc.

Trust is worth nothing in 2016. Particularly with non-free technology, which has proven itself time and time again to act against the user to benefit various controlling parties.
