What exactly is happening to RFDs?
I posted in a thread about a Huawei phone deal. I specifically asked if their tense relationship with Google, and inability to sell in the USA will effect their ability to effectively support their phones.
Here's my actual post "Politics aside, is it safe to buy this phone considering Huawei's connect with the CPC? Aren't they fairly well known for wanting back doors set up in electronics that come out of China?
Furthermore, if Huawai can't legally do business with Google, what hope is there for future support for their products?"
How do these concerns NOT effect the validity of a deal? If a product is going to be a cinderblock in a year, isn't that something we should be able to talk about? If a product might actually be helping another country spy on our citizens, isn't that something we should be able to bring up?
It feels like RFD has become wildly censor heavy over the last three months, to the point where people can't talk about the good AND bad points of a deal. I get that they want to push their affiliate links, but pushing people to crap products will simply make us choose another forum to frequent.
Is there something I'm missing here? Has this forum recently changed management or something? Been here for a decade, and it seems like actual conversation about deals is now heavy-handedly censored by admins.
