Hugo Barra o prywatności klientów Xiaomi

Hugo Barra, dnia 31/07/2014:

Xiaomi is serious about user privacy and takes all possible steps to ensure our Internet services adhere to our privacy policy. We do not upload any personal information and data without the permission of users. In a globalized economy, Chinese manufacturers’ handsets are selling well internationally, and many international brands are similarly successful in China – any unlawful activity would be greatly detrimental to a company’s global expansion efforts.

Hugo Barra, dnia 10/08/2014:

In a lengthy blogpost on Google Plus, Xiaomi Vice President Hugo Barra apologized for the unauthorized data collection and said the company only collects phone numbers in users’ address books to see if the users are online.

He said the smartphone’s messaging system would now only activate on an „opt-in” basis and that any phone numbers sent back to Xiaomi servers would be encrypted and not stored.

Dobrze wiedzieć, że użytkownik może naprawić błąd Xiaomi i ponownie pozwolić im zbierać jego dane. Jego wpis sprzed dwóch dni na Google+ jest tutaj.

Hugo Barra ma dosyć krytyki Xiaomi, które wcale nie kopiuje Apple →

Vlad Savov:

Barra is only a year into his job as leader of Mi’s internationalization efforts, but he’s already „sick and tired” of hearing his company derided as an Apple copycat. He sees Mi as „an incredibly innovative company” that never stops trying to improve and refine its designs, and the allegations of it copying Apple are „sweeping sensationalist statements because they have nothing better to talk about.”

Oczywiście, że nie. CEO Xiami wcale nie ubiera się jak Steve Jobs, a slide na ekranie nie ma absolutnie nic wspólnego z Apple. Hugo przy okazji stracił cały szacunek jaki do niego miałem.

A jak zerkniecie przez okno to zobaczycie, że niebo jest sraczkowate w różowe kropki. True story.
