    Is it. I know it’s a Chinese company but is there any evidence that there is anything going on?

        Right but has anybody actually run a packet inspector on the data, or even confirm that it is sending packets back and by what method?

        Because everybody “knows” China does this but everybody also “knows” that the Facebook app listens to you. As far as I know no evidence has ever been provided of either claim. The evidence is always ooh well I spoke about yoghurts and then 3 days later I had an advert for a yoghurt, which is somewhat unconvincing as conclusive proof.

      Yes it literally phones back every bit of data. What other evidence do you need?
