According to the Reuters news agency, Facebook will no longer allow the pre-installation of its apps on new Huawei phones, the well-known Chinese technology company that has been the focus of attention around the world for months due to its ties with the Chinese government. Customers who already have a Huawei mobile will still be able to use their apps and receive updates, Reuters writes, but the new Huawei phones will no longer have Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram apps pre-installed.
A few days ago Huawei had lost its license to use the Android operating system in its richest and most complete version, following a suspension decided by Google to comply with the provisions imposed by the US government against Chinese companies. The United States believes that Huawei is de facto controlled by the Chinese government, and that its products therefore pose a threat to national security, as they could be used to intercept and collect sensitive data.
The allegations have never been proven with concrete evidence and Huawei has always claimed to respect safety standards and to work transparently, as confirmed by its customers mobile operators and its presence in many markets, starting with the European one. .
