  8.  @rudy346  This simply is not true. Huawei is a multinational corporation that complies with the laws of the countries from within it operates. It was founded in China and is headquartered there sure, but that no more makes it a Chinese company, than you could call Coca-Cola or Google a US company. They're so massive that they're beyond countries. Indeed so massive that Facebook is literally attempting to take over the world with Libre and if allowed it could do so almost overnight. The USA regularly uses it's clout around the world to bully other nations in order to get better deals or protect the interests of private companies headquartered in the USA. Companies that generate local jobs and stimulate the economy. It's a practice the USA has been engaging in since WW2. Those private companies are private, the USA isn't protecting them because of a request or even an agreement from the company in how the USA might go about things. But when China does the same thing you want to pretend that it's different..? Come on mate, wake up. China is fast overtaking the USA and they're terrified. So they deploy their bog standard propaganda machine like they do anything else and pressure other nations to fall inline. Huawei is already a massive part of 4G infrastructure around the world. It likewise was a massive part of 3G infrastructure. Do you see the USA rushing to strip 4G infrastructure out? There is zero evidence that Huawei is a security risk, lots of evidence they aren't and they're completely open and willing to co-operate in whatever way they're asked to.

  30. Sounds like a bunch of technologically illiterate fools are signing up without understanding what they're signing up for. Do you not know what trial means? All websites have their T&C at the bottom. Read them before you give someone a credit card number. If someone is offering you an unsolicited free prize why would you think that's anything other than a way to make money? No one wants to just give you free things with no expectations of any money being made, they'd go bankrupt overnight. Come on, use your head. I can't have sympathy for these people. These aren't scams, if you don't bother to read the terms you're agreeing to before agreeing that's on you. Based on the definition MarketPlace is using here for a scam, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo all "scam" people with a free trial of their online service that renews automatically. Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HayU, Stan, TrlGo, and every other streaming video service including YouTube premium the very platform marketplace has this video on, are all "scamming" because they offer free trials then auto renew. Google and Apple both do it with their music and games services. Amazon does it with Prime and audible. Ancestry does it with their platform. Facebook does it with "free credit" on ad accounts. Even CBC Gem does this. A trial means you are signing up to something, if you're giving payment details it means they're going to keep taking money until you actively cancel. People need to stop hiding behind willful ignorance and take some responsibility for themselves. The only people scamming here are the ones complaining.
