Anyway, I always thought if I have to use American phone backdoored by FBI or Chinese phone backdoored by China, I choose Chinese because they really cannot arrest me, unlike FBI.
Especially since then they’d probably have you do things that would result in even more jail time if caught than the original thing. And since your data is transiting international borders all the time, it would make a nice juicy target for the NSA as well!

The capability in Xiaomi's Mi 10T 5G phone software had been turned off for the "European Union region", but can be turned on remotely at any time, the Defence Ministry's National Cyber Security Centre said in the report.
Wasn't everyone just outraged about apples csam because it could have the potential for intel agencies, like china's to abuse it by claiming political photos were csam?
Besides, it is blocking on things like Al-Qaeda too. It's not some list of Freedom words.
But you also have a gmail address, so I don't understand the reaction.

If you're using it for something interesting, well, you're not sticking out in the "not having gmail" camp, but what's the point.

More seriously no platform is trustworthy unless it’s airgapped these days.
I wonder if they might be skeptical of another communist regime starting to interfere with the country. Worked so well the last time...
Lithuania has been capitalist for 20+ years and quality of life has increased by a lot ever since.
the three baltic states are frontrunners in gov digitalization, for example
Contrast it with NZ - I had to send my documents via post. In 6 years I NEVER had to visit ANY of government agency but I did receive visas and passports, just simply by post (if you have local drivers licence you do get to use local online services, which is a stupid barrier to begin with, but whatever).

As the Cold War intensified, the frenzy over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. The United States government responded by creating the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), which was charged with identifying Communist threats to the United States. HUAC often pressured witnesses to surrender names and other information that could lead to the apprehension of Communists and Communist sympathizers. Committee members branded witnesses as “red” if they refused to comply or hesitated in answering committee questions.

According to Americans, of course.
But according to large part of the rest of the World, it's wasn't different and it might even have been much worse.
Ask Nicaragua or Chile or, more recently, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo prisoners.
USSR didn't finance fascist bomb attacks that killed hundreds of innocent people in my country, but CIA did.
Truth is "they were fleeing from USSR to USA because USA is a much better place" is actually a belief bias.
