U.S. lawmaker: 'Sure looks like Zuckerberg lied to Congress'
I don’t get some of the concerns about this.<p>Take the Facebook app that Huawei built using their special API access to offer Facebook on their devices. Their implementation was supposed to store the Facebook data locally on the phone. Of course, there’s a concern here that Huawei, a company with strong ties to the Chinese government, could still be siphoning Facebook data off the phone despite that breaking their agreement with Facebook.<p>But if you don’t trust the device manufacturer and their operating system, what does it matter? If Facebook existed solely as a mobile web app on the phones or as a Facebook Inc produced app, you still have to trust Huawei to not be siphoning off that data. If you don’t trust Huawei, you’re at risk regardless of whoever made the software you use on their phones.<p>(The device manufacturer FB implementations that stored data on non-FB servers are a different situation though...)
