Pretty much every article I can remember about Huawei mentions that "experts" and "officials" are "concerned" about China backdooring Huawei's products, but has there been any cases of that? Or is it all just speculation? TikTok is the most popular app in the world and China barely has any control of it outside of its borders.

          We went from the 90s attitude of "don't trust everything you read on the internet and never share personal information" to "fuck yeah I'm gonna willingly pay for Amazon and the NSA to bug my house for some smart appliance bullshit"
