Can't open the link because of rate limiting - hn effect?

Anyway, is any phone-home spying? What if it phones US servers, say Google's? Unfortunately I can't think of a popular brand that doesn't spy on its users (no matter what the reasons are).

It's not just a phone-home. It's sending your entire browsing history (unencrypted!): every web request you make gets sent back to servers in China.

I am having a very hard time believing this statement is in any way true. If you have a link to details, now is the time to provide it.

[reissbaker]

Check the Twitter link posted elsewhere in this thread of a security researcher finding exactly that.

That's interesting. Links please?

thats not entirely true, while isp's do get a copy of your plain text data if its not end to end encrypted(and likely offsell it), bgp routes would likely need to hijacked or somehow compromised while the data was in transit for a chinese server to get a copy of that data

Twitter's mobile site does that all the time, just refresh and it'll work.
