On the other hand Spain is using Huawei servers for almost all of their sensitive data. I wonder how the UE, and NATO, will react to that, because they're using Huawei for Social Security data, wiretapping data (SITEL), or even Intelligence Services data.
Scale. Huawei has 1.4 billion customers just in China. They have double this around the world. The US and European markets have become small for the scale of next generations telecom.
'The white paper reveals a classic bait-and-switch operation in which Spain lures foreign talent by offering official certificates guaranteeing favorable tax treatment, then retroactively denies the legitimacy of those same certificates to impose tax bills up to ten times higher than originally expected. The Spanish Tax Authority, which goes by the acronym AEAT and is commonly referred to as "Hacienda," entices American businesses to set up shop in the country through desirable tax credits and incentives, then unfairly taxes the workers of those companies in perpetuity, long after their tenure in Spain has concluded.'
I'm curious to know about how the EU will handle 'the Spanish position with Huawei'. A lot of sensitive data is on Huawei servers already, like Social Security data, wiretapping data (SITEL), Intelligence Services data, etc.
I use a ubports phone as a daily driver, and in my experience the main showstopper is all those banks, and even all those public institutions, that make mandatory to be a Google or Apple client to deal with them.
So I also need to use another phone, running VollaOS, to handle my online payments but I'm afraid Google will close this option with their latest policies. We'll see.
I didn't see Wire link to the actual ISD report or peer-reviewed paper, instead of say what the report found without showing me the report so I can read it myself. It's a red flag in my book.
That's not a red flag, almost all news sites are like that now, unfortunately. It's due to the ad revenue model, they don't want you to click away. Pick some reputable news sources you can think of and see if they link their primary sources - it won't be many.
Related, Jonathan Fink (Silicon Curtain - Silicon Wafers) talked about this issue some days ago but focused on his own experience on X https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL1_ow8s0rY
Both are European companys with a great privacy drive.
