[luv-talk] ZTE, Huawei, Samsung, privacy and national security

19 Jun 2018

      Assembled cognoscenti;

in the context of the  current  national security concerns,

regarding ZTE and Huawei.

1/  Does anyone know whether these relate to software eg OS or hardware ?

2/ To what extent do these also affect privacy and personal security ?

  Given the hardware issues (previous thread) discovered in Samsung 
Galaxy hardware,

    by Lineage developers;   not to mention the proprietary issues with 
Android "spyware for Google";

  might it not be useful to encourage ZTE and Huawei to start a campaign,

advertising  privacy and security issues in the hardware and software of 
mobile phones,

  from  non-chinese companies ?
