So let me get this right.
2.9 million in net profit and 120K in penalty.
I get the 3 years prison but what happens to the remaining 2.9 mil profit ?
Sitting in a Swiss bank account waiting for the day they are free ?

    How do you go about in life with such extremist views?

      HopeNLove, 05 Dec 2020and Xiaomi livres from what? Even tho is not the same achem... moreAds that can be toggled off by a switch in the respective system app settings. If you truly use the device and not as limited as your post suggest you'd know a Google search is all you need to fix the ads you're whining about.


      Want to know why Xiaomi is not facing this lawsuit, it's because you can literally disable those ads. They're not hidden from the users control unlike the malware found on Gionee and Tecno.

          and Xiaomi livres from what? Even tho is not the same achem, the same type of thing, Xiaomi are plagued with ads all over the system apps.

          No wonder Xiaomi phones are cheap, good for the money but the anoying ads dont make it to the brand itself who i belive win millions with.

          Even isnt trojan or any kind od "viruses" i can compare ir to, so, someone stop this bullcrap.

          *And no, Im not applecrap or sammycrap fan, i use Xiaomi, have a Mi9 and love it, but thats the experience i have with them.

                      Prison for 4milion$. Nice! Imagine Apple, Google, Facebook on China court! For life!

                        Anonymous, 05 Dec 2020I doubt it is only brand there to do it. The article literally said other manufacturers like Tecno and Infinix have done it, too.
