Lenovo definitely deserves to be banned after that shit they pulled with the malicious root certificates.

Didi (Chinese Uber) is very popular in Australia too.

I think it should depend on the software and what’s being collected & shared, also where it’s hosted.

While Lenovo has have some securities risk & concerns in the past. You can circumvented a lot by installing a fresh copy of windows or Linux. They don’t really havest data or track you like TikTok does. There is no algorithm, no influence on politics or feeding propaganda.

I think TikTok would be okay, if Android had a better sandbox environment (like GrapheneOS), but google also wants your data…

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit…
