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 is just because Temu’s inventory primarily ships from manufacturing hubs and warehouses in China. But the primary headquarters is in Boston, Massachusetts. Interesting. China still spies but I don’t think as much as the U.S.

      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.

        Devices actually have shown up with spyware in it. That is why. This isn’t an anti China post. It just so happens that they came from their factory.

                    Did you not read the whole thing or do you just have to nit-pick?

                    “Temu customers in Iowa have submitted dozens of complaints."

                    “Temu “deceives Iowans about the quality of the products offered on its platform, flooding the United States and Iowa markets with substandard products,” which violates Iowa’s Consumer Fraud Act.”

                    A state usually sues when they have actual evidence.

                    They would still sue if it happened with any other manufactory.
