      Today, phone makers implement methods to distinguish a Chinese phone from another or to check if you are connected to the Chinese network. It allows them to treat a Chinese user differently from the other users.

      My main feeling is that today people don't care: "You know it's China, it's like that...", "It will never happen in my country...". But what if phone makers implement an isIndianPhone method or isUsPhone method? There are no technical obstacles to that and you will not know it.

      So even if it's not happening in your country or you are not directly concerned by it, please do not consider this as a normal situation. Distinguish someone because of his country is not normal.

          What's the goal of determining if a user is in China or not?

          You can restrict the features of an app or upload his data to a different server for example

          Reminds me that Meizu Music app will let you stream/download MP3s from chinese servers if you change your rom's build.prop to fake a Chinese phone. The only "good" case of distinguishing someone based on their country 😊

          What’s the utility of such an identifier when SIM will give this info?

          Unfortunately, this happens in everything, not only in phones We didn't know America is selling data except when that happens to Americans themselves I started to wonder how little are those who are not racist in first place :(

          Whatever the country, this can't be, no company have the right to do something like this...
