I'm loving it!
But how does it reciprocate is the bigger question.
China doesn't give a shit about US data. But it loves the money :)
Chinese could harvest data such as passwords.
Stop thinking state and start thing data.
Data, and who controls it, certainly doesn't care about you.
It's just data to therm.
They might get their years' when they are out and chewing cud.
But there is a mane to shake and a wind in our face to feel.
what
So is this a bot account or what?
You wot?
The people selling your data don't give a fig about you or anyone else who is part of that data.
'We kindly ask for time to cover this up as much as we can then try and bullshit our way out of it'
It is possible there are one ore several people doing this without the boss knowing. The canned PR answer would be the same no matter what.
Oh, so when it talked to the Chinese government, that's fine, but now that it's been found to talk to TikTok, that's no good!
What's an insta360 camera?
It's a GoPro counterfeit. You see, when Western companies send their tech to be manufactured in China, it's a given that those technical specs will be shared with all their "cousins," who each make their own counterfeit version of your product and flood the market with them. Since you paid for all the R&D, you need to recoup that investment. Meaning you can't compete with the cheap knockoffs, leading to you losing market share and the Chinese scammers stealing the bulk of the market share at your expense. "Thanks, yangguizi!"
Some 360 camera brand. Looks a lot like dji so i never trusted them
True, but a few social influencers have pushed it, and it's fairly cheap. The prices have dropped a lot in the past 10 days which has made them pop to the top of lists as a best buy. I looked at them just three days ago, but passed them up because of the crazy data size.
After all that, I didn't see this till just now so I'm kinda happy.
I've seen them in shops but the fact that the 360 photos can only be seen in their app turned me off.
I've used a few 360 cameras before and tbh they're very gimmicky because of the fact you need special software to view them at the time.
I have no comment on this story. However, I will say that as of this moment in time, I am much more comfortable being spied on by China than any five eyes country.
