Olympic athletes warned to leave electronics at home, buy a cheap burner phone

Winter Olympics: Athletes advised to use burner phones in Beijing

Multiple security issues with the My2022 phone app (mandatory for all Olympians, coaches, and spectators) and China's habit of not respecting user privacy had led multiple countries to ask their participants to leave their own devices at home and use disposable devices and email accounts while in the country competing.

Why are they still having the winter games there?

Because they own most of the worlds bureaucrats and western politicians.

I have a coworker from China and she goes back every couple years to see family. She tried to work from there last time and security blocked all her access. If you connect to a network in that country just accept that all data is collected

China is way ahead of us. Can't get upset over hurt rights of you don't hold a vote.

LOL...so true!

China doesn't apologize for shiz.

totally unlike OUR country of course

totally unlike OUR country of course

It's quite different actually

 

[Weezy]

It's quite different actually

We don't send people to camps. But do you think we have any privacy here? Didn't an article come out that Canada was pulling data from just about everyone. Do you think it's different here? I don't.

Our government has decided there are better methods for population control. Zersetzung, cancel culture, whatever you want to call it. You just can't take folks out back and shoot them. You have to use more acceptable methods. Like vaccine requirements to leave your house.

Yes I believe there are ways to keep traffic private that don't exist in China

They could get to VPN I think. I doubt they do. But what amount of traffic is VPN? Like 1%?

 

[VOLS INC.]

Not yet.

Yeah. There is a thread about this going. Either 0% of democrats want to put the unvaxxed in camps, or 100% do. Depends on how you read the data.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Of course, any cheap burner phone the athletes buy is almost certainly made in China too and will have all the usual CCP mandated back doors installed

Uhhhh...not on the scale that China does.

Not camps. Super Max is the way to go.

Most remote workers likely use it.

I think that's the point. Create a temporary system that you can abandon when back home.

Dems/Liberals do have a long history of it.

Lincoln, founder of the Republican party, suspends habeas corpus on April 27, 1871.

So, I suppose, "Dems/Liberals" learned from the master...

Yes, Lincoln was a tyrant also.

Monty really showed you what's what with that reply.
