what does this person think China will do with this information you live in another country dipshit china can't arrest you
Xi Jinping is personally jerking it to my noods! 
All the pics I take of my feet are actually a matter of national security, sweaty.
They can just buy the information from data brokers anyhow
this person doesn't seem to appreciate that the chinese government is too busy managing the chinese state to give a shit about them
from amazon or whoever, who they'll happily give their information to and who have way more ability to fuck with them
It’s like Snowden & Assange taught these people nothing.
All the new media literacy pedagogy should be thrown out and replaced with Michael Parenti’s Inventing Reality and Make-Believe Media.
cares about privacy
downloads a shopping/fast fashion app
on an i phone
posts to his reddit account
something isn't adding up
Is there an iPhone equivalent of deleting System32 because that's clearly the answer to this question.
If anyone is that worried about data privacy, they shouldn't have a smartphone lol.
I think that attitude is frankly toxic. It's the digital equivalent of "if you don't like America, you can move to Afghanistan!".
the platform and devices are kinda counter to principles of privacy. the towers track you, "free" software where your data is the product, the panopticon of everyone having a camera... Places that need to actually be secure ban them. You can get by without a smart phone just fine if you have a regular computer but then you transfer all the vulnerability to that device, it's just not physically with you and you have a little bit better control over it if you know or care enough to make the efforts.
how can acknowledging reality be toxic? it would be nice if it were different, but they're right - smartphones are anathema to privacy as they exist today
The real toxic attitude is simply expecting everyone to have a smartphone. Stop trying to make me install an app or scan a QR code for everything. I've gone without using a smartphone for months at a time and I was fine. Pre-covid there were usually a couple times where some event or restaurant or work thing required some unnecessary app, but since covid I think people have gotten sick of this type of stuff and it's not as common. Worse case scenario just get a burner phone for when you're forced to use a smartphone.

It’s Apple, so no.
r/privacy is full of the dumbest people I've ever met. If you cared about privacy you would never have a smartphone in the first place.
That product violates every Maoist principle, but damn does it look sexy.
the absence of a Stalin phone case is revisionism
This guy just got tricked into downloading a communism and you're laughing?
Scared about privacy. Has a public reddit profile with a year long posting history.
Oh god oh fuck Xi is in my phone. He made my wallpaper an animated Chinese flag flapping in the breeze and the language preferences looked like they're being 变成中国人请帮忙我很害怕
shit is so stupid. i don't care if the chinese government spies on me. I live in america. It's DHS, ICE, CIA, FBI that want to kidnap me and harvest my organs. chinese govt can't do shit to me and have no reason to. honestly i dare them. 
I have a google phone right now but I'd love to get a Chinese phone when I need a new one. I'm pretty sure the party isn't getting transcripts of what I yell at my phone right now, so I'm hoping a Xiaomi or Huawei would be more conducive to sharing my political advice with the chairman
Obviously most apps are stealing your data but people's reactions to Temu are literally insane. They have a thing where they'll literally paypal you £20-£40 to refer other users, I was 1 referral away and 2 friends wouldn't download it because it's Chinese. Another two friends said that people they know had money stolen by it... like, legality and possibility aside yes, I'm sure Pinduoduo, one of the BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD needs to steal your last tenner
Too late sweaty, CCP knows everything you've ever said or done now, along with everyone you've ever talked to. You can't put the cat back in the bottle Charlie. Your whole life is in the communists hands. You might want to turn yourself into your local FBI office and accept your torture and eventual murder for the crimes you've bestowed on this free nation.
If you're that paranoid about privacy, perhaps an iPhone and social media are not the right choices for you.
I go out of my way to never download any apps that secretly steal data (or ones from China)
So apps from China that don't steal data are also bad?
I've seen someone echo this exact same sentiment, they were suspicious of an open source project on GitHub not having malware because the maintainers were Chinese and there was a Chinese translation of the README file, American propaganda is mind-rotting.
