It’s safe to say, don’t buy cameras from shady places.
“Iowa sued Temu and its Chinese parent company on Wednesday, claiming the online retailer violates Iowans privacy rights and exposes them to spying by the Chinese government.”
Also, Cyb3rMaddy Investigated a Camera from Temu. There is some truth to China harvesting your data. But! Data was also being sent to servers in the U.S.

It’s propaganda, because we’re supposed to be afraid of China spying on us while our own government spies on us.
What are China’s spies even going to do to me?

Rough you up, put you in prison, kill you, etc. My government can actually hurt me. China can’t do shit.

But why does Iowa care so much more about China collecting data than the US? The fear is implied, we’re supposed to be scared of the evil foreigners having our data while the good ol’ US companies can be trusted. Otherwise, why focus on China?
Come on, “spying by the Chinese government” is blatant fear mongering. Spying by the US government is far more concerning.

Why does it matter that Temu’s inventory primarily ships from manufacturing hubs and warehouses in China?
The implication is that we’re supposed to care because it’s China. Specifically, because it’s China.

“I didn’t use the word fear therefore it isn’t fear mongering” lol

It’s not working
The US can send shit to my government. China isn’t part of the five eyes or whatever.

Send cops to your door, imprison you, kill you, etc. The US has many political prisoners, and even jailed a mother for discussing abortion with her teenage daughter over facebook.

Which doesn’t change the point which is that your own government has far more agency over you than a foreign one.

It appears that you are in need of help with reading comprehension here because I was not talking about any particular government.
