Iowa accuses Temu of collecting private consumer data
www.courthousenews.com
Iowa says Temu and its Chinese-owned parent company open consumers up to spying by the Chinese government.

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.

    I said, a lot earlier in the comment chain:

    But why does Iowa care so much more about China collecting data than the US?

    And it was in a thread where the OP is about Iowa. That was the context in which I said Amazon won’t face consequences. I was clearly talking about Iowa law and why Iowa targeting Temu is biased, you bringing up Biden’s FTC making decisions three years ago to refute this. You aren’t seriously engaged with what I have to say, you just want to “win” the discussion.

    I hate talking to redditeurs.

        Again, you aren’t engaging with what I have to say. You’re just firing off responses as fast as you can to “win” the posting rpg.

        This was about Iowa. You did nothing to show that Iowa gives a shit about Amazon and isn’t applying a doubled standard.

            This thread is about Iowa. I don’t know why you can’t stay on topic. Iowa is targeting Temu because they’re Chinese and won’t go after US companies that do the exact same things, or worse, because they’re US companies. I don’t know why you refuse to talk about Iowa in a thread about Iowa.

                I never once did that. I never said the article is false. My points were always:

                1. Temu is doing what every other US company is doing, and US companies collecting our data are more dangerous because they can actually hurt me.

                2. A double standard is being applied to Temu because of Chinese ownership, and reporting on this without acknowledging that double standard is propaganda.
