The following youtube video explains that OnePlus is been keen in mapping PII (Personally Identifiable Information) in data collection by mapping serial numbers user accounts and usage details? Isn't it a threat to the privacy? OnePlus's Oxygen OS being considered the most user-friendly version of android collecting such information isn't it a bad reputation to the company?
Youtube Engadget Video:
A similar instance was noted before when Device serial number was passed to check for updates earlier. Shouldn't a company correct itself from past mistakes? All the media that time was slamming OnePlus for such an irresponsible act! But why again?
Couldn't the data be anonymised in the device and then be transmitted which would at least make it safe to a certain extent. This is exactly what other manufacturers do!
and just by using HTTPS to the maximum extent it could prevent any network intruders. but what if the AWS server hosting the data is compromised it is a big threat to all OnePlus users or if some insider mishandles the data which could be a catastrophe.
