probably the filter isn't on the phone but on the ISP server level and applications server,,
China have theirown Internet server and theirown application ecosystem, so that's where they censor things
cuz Censorship on phone that sell worldwide is dangerous for China business as whole

ericwang, 28 Sep 2021Lithuania have a very bad relationship with Mainland China ... moreLithuania has a pretty bitter relationship with Russia as well, so it's quite natural that they try to target China, a country that is relatively close to Russia, through (one-sided) censorship/spying accusations like this.
Everything is just politics nowadays..

Anonymous, 28 Sep 2021https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53329005BBC is a pure government propaganda site, ask Indians how BBC reported anti indian coverage of farmers protest or censorship of migrant crisis or biased coverage of American elections and complete coverup of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
BBC is scum and lowlife.

Last time I talked about spyware on Chinese hardware, I got accused of watching too many 007 movies. I guess the Lithuanian Deputy defence minister watched them too

Should North Korea make cheaper phones, they'll enthusiastically give up cheap Chinese trinkets for those in a New York minute. Then superficially bemoan the trashy living conditions of the Koreans, frighteningly unable to make the limpid connection between their economic support for the regime and the oppression meted out.
You see it time and again in every facet of modern life. Most folks simply do not care until it physically hurts them, at which time they hunt for scapegoats who apparently should have forced them to pay attention. Or, amusingly, they may ignore the hurt and cope instead.
Humans are fascinating creatures.

"Xiaomi said that these filters are turned off for the European Union region.
Then again, the Lithuania government claims the censorship filter could be re-enabled remotely at any time. The Chinese firm argues that these filters are an industry standard and are usually used to protect users from pornographic content and content that is found offensive to local users."
Xiaomi incriminated itself. No further evidence required.
There should a complete ban on Xiaomi in the EU.

Surprised? Not at all. Xiaomi is another company part of the CCP economics branch.
I never understood why cost saving people (yes, I'm talking about you, Xiaomi/BBK fans) are sometimes so blind to see deceive in these companies. It's as if they will ignore anything bad as long as they can get hardware for cheap, which mind you, is the same reason why a lot of companies are using cheap labor off from China.
It's not bad to buy Xiaomi per se, but dont be dumb and ignore that behind the hoods, they do stuff like this.
And before someone comes mentioning politics: neither HTC, LG, Samsung, Nokia, Sony, Motorola (funny, because it's practically Lenovo) have been found doing shady stuff in the background like this. I dont know about BBK, but I wouldnt put it past them to do the same, seeing how OnePlus has been caught red handed several times in suspicious behavior.
So, this has nothing to do with the USA coming up with something or not.
