The Lithuanian government recently accused Xiaomi’s mobile phone of a built-in censorship system that monitors and automatically filters sensitive Chinese characters, and it is not recommended for citizens to use Chinese mobile phones. Xiaomi responded to Lithuania’s allegations, stating that Xiaomi will not censor and restrict the content of users’ communications, which is more affirmation of the Lithuanian government’s stance against China.
The National Cyber Security Center of Lithuania found that the Mi 10T 5G model of Xiaomi Europe has built-in “MiAdBlocklist” software. Although it is not turned on, it is confirmed that the software can review communication content. For example, the default browser will filter information about “Tibetan independence”, “Taiwan independence” and other words. Lithuania also indicated that Xiaomi has the ability to enable this feature remotely.
In addition, the National Cyber Security Center of Lithuania also found that when registering for the Xiaomi Cloud Service, the user’s information will be sent to Xiaomi’s server in the form of encrypted text messages. Therefore, it is suspected that Xiaomi will send the user’s personal data directly through the Xiaomi Cloud. “. Lithuania also checked other Chinese brand mobile phones including Huawei’s P40 and OnePlus 8T, and found that Huawei’s app store also had security vulnerabilities.
Xiaomi responded that they have never and will never restrict the personal behavior of mobile phone users, and they abide by the EU’s General Data Protection Rules (GDPR terms), fully respecting and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of all users. Will not “move a rock to hit one’s own feet” in areas subject to terms. But Xiaomi did not deny that they have the ability to monitor users’ mobile phone communication activities.
