Not only Xiaomi, many others are stealing people's data too.

He also warned me about some browsers on playstore.

I am one of the many people on twitter escalating the discoveries and unravelling of any proven fact stating the obvious concerning xiaomi product and users confidentiality.

Users should always be aware of what they are getting into. Xiaomi lied about their method or what they are using the users data being collected for, they went even further to claim the data is not pinned to a user, as the data collated are anonymously sent, when in fact, it is a cover up scam.

If you check this twitter.com/zesushv handler, you will be amazed at what has been uncovered regarding this disappointing incident that involves xiaomi.
The disturbing reality of this is, xiaomi could and should have accepted their error and swung to action and fix it.

This privacy theft and data siphoning without users permission was traced to the mi browser[mint browser]. A single update or an option to Uninstall the mi browser would settle all this tension and would have preserved xiaomi's integrity of being a privacy cautious company. But no, they tried denying it and went ahead to refute and even involved top security companies who gave them licence just to rubbish a discovery which was in reality, the truth.

Now there is a video on YouTube which gives a detailed exposey on how xiaomi actually does this.

We are waiting for xiaomi's next response, because accepting their mistake now will just be complete fallacy, utter incompetence or a failed attempt after being unable to deceive a universe of intelligent android users.

And people wonder why I choose xiaomi... They are under a lot of watchful eyes by us the fans and their errors don't go unnoticed.

You are honest. From today I begin to respect you

ZesusHVWritter:

I respect you too sir, a lot. You are one of the few persons if they see the light millions will never walk in darkness.
And yes, I try to be as honest as I possibly can. What I can confidently say is, I am without sentiment or grudge when dealing with issues. So as to avoid ignoring important facts or useful warnings that may become costly in future.

edoairways:

Yeah. Continue with the good work.

Beware of anything you're reading here. The West is out to destroy China, and they want the Chinese economy destroyed completely within the next 10 years.

Nobody monitors you more or has the resources to monitor you more than US and European sources. In fact, depending on the opinions you and I share here, US and EU sources could be monitoring you right here on Nairaland. You and I could even already be on ''person of interest'' list, just because of your Nairaland comments.

Know your enemy.

Xiaomi is a Chinese product and its fastly becoming the best selling phone in Africa, India, South America. They make very good phones and going by their momentum, they may as well become the world's best selling phone in near future.

White people cannot take it that you an African or an Asian or someone else be ahead of them. Any day we Africans wake up and begin manufacturing our own stuff, this's what we'll face.

I am going to buy a Xiaomi phone next week.

True , they all complaining about China but most of them have facebook accounts and the likes. There's a reason why China doesn't even trust Facebook. . They had to create their own version of Facebook for their citizens.

Your comprehension of information is highly flawed and your reasoning is caved to a desired outcome before this matter was even considered.

If you had with an intelligent mind and proper understanding read the posts on this thread. You would have seen that the crux or pivotal point of this thread is to bring to the citizens of nairaland The findings and evidence leveled against xiaomi concerning data breach of users privacy and policy.
No one is asking China not to stand on its feet, but the fact that you are willing to sell whatever ounce of respect or privacy there be left in you or your love ones or business associates just to see China stand, speaks volume of how careless and nonchalant you are. In simple words, you lack wisdom.

musicwriter:


Your perspective on this topic as a whole is very limited, so you honestly believe its about Xiaomi.

Whois:
Blame fb

ZesusHVWritter:

What are you even saying right now?
"your perspective" you think this an opinionated matter?
An issue of what you prefer or don't?
America and NASA are spying on the world is okay for Xiaomi to spy on its customers too?

The topic and deliberation is about xiaomi and users privacy being compromised to an unknown gain, which is obviously beneficial to xiaomi and whomever/whatever xiaomi chooses to sell these collected data to.

Now if none of this is your concern, but your concern is something that has been said but not being discussed here. Then it's you who has a perspective to this issue.

I am for an average xiaomi user who is unaware of what is being done behind their back. And evidence have been showed and verified with countless proof that these data thievery is being done by xiaomi.
This not US vs Huawei claims were Trump is all talk and no evidence.

This has a trail of evidence piling to the doorstep of xiaomi. If you are genuinely interested in getting informed concerning this matter then head on to twitter where its being verified by sources and individuals of great technological intelligence not some fabricated conspiracy you endow-ing yourself in to pass time. This is really happening.

The screenshot attached below is how every mi user will be feeling right now. Should you not know, this error is also available on the mint browser which can be installed on any phone from Google Playstore. Google is America, and the biggest Tech industry in the world. Since you are so big on imaginatives and ignores reasons and logic. Is Google not aware the mint browser is a potential malware snooping on users even in America?

Why is Google not speaking out seeing xiaomi is Chinese?
Well, feed on that.

musicwriter:


You're missing the point, brother. For your information, every communication electronic device you're using is spying on you; including your so called secured one that you're typing with. The Amazon alexa or and eco smart speaker device were also caught red-handed spying on Americans. Smart TV's has been caught videoing rooms in America.

And as I said earlier, listen to Edward Snowden's interviews on Youtube for how the US spies on YOU and the whole world. When it comes to spying, China and Xiaomi still dey learn work.

Let me quote your entire words this time.
So is spying on a user a good thing?
Should users just accept the idea that their privacy is no longer of the essence or importance?

Nobody has said spying is a good thing. But I just wanted to let you know that the major spies are the ones accusing China and Xiaomi of spying. Xiaomi has no more power to spy on you than apple, google, microsoft, facebook or others.

Hermionegranger:
If you're serious about your data privacy activism, you shouldn't make it one sided by restricting your fight to Xiaomi, take it to Facebook too. I'll have to warn you though, you're fighting a lost cause.

Forget. All OEMs, software companies collect data. Privacy is now in history books.
