Never mind the article -- everyone who knows anything worth knowing already knows that a Hauwei phone in your pocket is a Chinese Commie Spy in your pocket.

Are they the Google bikes Scharfie mentioned a few months ago? If so, that yellow is a very sensible color for a rentabike or freebie bike or whatever it is. That's a super-visible color. My Porsche used to be that color, and the insurance company used to give me a discount for it.

*Nothing to do with Hauwei phones spying on you, but with Google's attempt, in conjunction with American universities who should have known better even if the congenital thieves on Google's Board didn't, to steal the copyright of every author in the world, to which a judge eventually put an end, with some harsh words for Google. It was not enough: he should have sent the *******s to jail for conspiracy against the common weal.


Not only the Chinese intelligence services:

While one may or may not have sympathy for associates of
convicted criminals, the wider ramifications should be obvious.

I take the view that liberty is indivisible, and the sharp point of the upside down pyramid of liberty on which everything else rests is freedom of speech, because in its absence all other freedoms are worthless. Even convicted crime -- and of course their associates -- must have freedom of speech, and that must include privacy. That is one of the underlying motivations for the tradition of attorney-client privilege. (For those who don't know: attorney-client privilege, and an attorney's duty to his client, stops rather abruptly when the consultation in fact becomes a criminal conspiracy; the attorney is an officer of the court and can be jailed for not telling the authorities that his client is planning a crime. If he does, though, his Bar Council may disbar him...) Unless there is prior irrefutable evidence of a crime in progress, it would be pretty hard to prove a good reason to listen in on attorney-client consultations; it can't be a fishing expedition.

In France, which has very few libel suits because the privacy laws are so strong, these telecoms chancers would have been in jail long ago.
