Well its known that SoC's have backdoors on them. Usually it calls home to China, so you can guess what that's for.
Honestly I don't really give a shit if China invades my privacy I have nothing they'd care about anyway. I just don't want American corporations doing it to try to sell me more shit.
I do. fuck china.
Fuck em sure. But they can't reach me , us corporations that block US gdpr legislation year after year - they want to use my data and fuck me over
fuck the CIA and fuck PRISIM
