    Is this the equivalent of Intel management engine?

      No, IME is a proprietary subchip that has access to what your CPU is doing and virtually never turns off. IME is basically a full backdoor. Qualcomm is doing insecure telemetry that violates GDPR, but it’s not a backdoor.

    are there archive pages for cgtn or other such domains? I’m not sure if because behind the office firewall, but I can’t read the contents, just the titles, :( Perhaps both URLs, the original one, plus sort of an archive one…

        Didn’t know about this add-on, I’ll try it. I believe the issue is about geoblocking webpages. Thanks !

    I wonder if Mediatek is any better. They’re the biggest competition that Qualcomm has right now (except for maybe Samsung’s Exynos), but honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if everyone’s doing this.

        hell at&t was secretly splitting fiber to siphon all traffic on their backbone to the nsa back in like 2005 … if they’re going to those lengths you can be sure they’re considering all the other avenues as well
