Ad-tech company Glance promises users will “consume what is shown to them.”
Horrific:
Glance’s app is a full-screen takeover of the lock screen. It looks a lot like a generic swipe-heavy social network, like TikTok or Snapchat Discover, but it only shows content from Glance. Imagine if every time you turned on your phone, you were first presented with an auto-playing video from a popular off-brand TikToker, and you get the idea. The company’s website promises “unparalleled reach” and “authentic engagement” from its captive audience. Naveen Tewari, founder and CEO of InMobi, gave a rather dystopian description of his company’s strategy to Forbes India, saying, “Consumers will move from seeking content to consuming what is shown to them.”
All electronic devices (all chips in computers, cars, smartphones and more stuff every time) are build with resources extracted from “not ethical” places which means slavery, mafias, interests like this war that Putin is doing (wars are about resources). They extract those resources at very cheap cost, the factory is normally also on china because it’s cheaper the transport than paying a decent salary.
The process to make chips also requires to consume a lot of resources to build them. (like a lot and a lot of water to clean them perfectly)
Those devices normally comes with spyware often used to spy you. And we all know what they do with the data they collect, they know how to manipulate us and prevent any riot or create it. They own the media, they own your data and they have all the tools to wash people brains with nationalism and creating conflicts to keep people distracted, the same as giving us the perfect jobs to waste our time so we don’t have that time to protest for our rights or for those bad stuff they are doing.
That’s my point of view, you want a more deep detail.
Wait, I’m still confused, sorry. What you describe seems to apply to pretty much any electronics manufacturer, not just Xiaomi. I was specifically asking about them, do they stand out in some fashion?
Sorry, I got confused too, what you are asking can be found if you go to a search engine and type “xiaomi spyware”. Xiaomi is just a Chinese company, don’t expect them to care about privacy, they don’t see that as a right of their users, and they do what Chinese government wants. Same with any USA product, by law they are enforced to do and not talk about it.
I’m not an expert on Xiaomi, but if you take your time to type that on the search engine, you will find a lot of experts about different topics about it.
