Why does the CIA, NSA, FBI say these phones are botnets?

Why does the CIA, NSA, FBI say these phones are botnets?

Because the chinese government could potentially use them to spy on US citizens by putting in some subtle backdoors

They wouldn't do that. Chinese people are nice.

Hauwei's reputation is tarnished forever anyway for putting random shitty parts in their phones to get the order out.
Its a state owned company of course there are back doors

CHING CHONG CHINESE LEGS

Cause the alphabet agencies can't get their grimy greedy fingers on them

Because they are. Stop buying Lenovo shit too. Drives me nuts working in business IT consulting seeing all of these idiot companies with sensitive data and IP using Lenovo shit, because they saved a few bucks per laptop. Fucking idiots.

You should assume that any mainland Chinese company works explicitly with the Chinese Communist Party and their security apparatus, until proven otherwise.

If proven otherwise, you should assume they work with them implicitly instead.

There's no real risk in a white cotton shirt spying on you, not even much risk in individual electronic components, but a preconfigured computer or other electronic device is entirely another matter.

Because ironically they don't have the US gov botnets.

Because it competes against burgerland backdoored hardware.

It's a botnet, not a Freedomnet.

Because their own botnets in these phones detected some unidentified botnets

Because they want your info, anyone else having access to your info is a crime.

Because NSA can't install their own botnets in chink phones.

Yes they can, that's called android.

I used to have one and it does make a lot of connections all the time to Chinese sites like qq.com and tons of other sites (This is normal for phones as my Samsung galaxy does the same thing but with Samsung servers instead)


They must not like competition

because the chinks dont let them install their shitty botnet because it might interfere with chink botnet

>they dont have letter agency botnets

>use intel cpu
>not backdoored by them

oh so NOW they are scared of spying
>it's only okay when we do it to our own citizens

YOU CALLED?

checked the tech news to be sure of it so as it seems Huawei is already testing 5G in Canada

>There's no real risk in a white cotton shirt spying on you
Sure thing, Mao

Can anyone mangle up a coherent sentence without buzzwords and nonsense meme-speak? Is this Sup Forums?
