Xiaomi Says Its Devices Do Not Censor Users Following Lithuania Report
China’s Xiaomi said on Wednesday that its devices do not censor users’ communications, a day after Lithuania’s Defence Ministry recommended that consumers avoid Chinese phones due to a censoring feature in the smartphone giant’s flagship phone.
The censoring capability in Xiaomi’s Mi 10T 5G phone software has been turned off for the “European Union region” but can be turned on remotely at any time, the National Cyber Security Centre said in a report on Tuesday.
In a statement sent to Reuters on Wednesday, Xiaomi spokesman said its device “does not censor communications to or from its users”.
“Xiaomi has never and will never restrict or block any personal behaviours of our smartphone users, such as searching, calling, Web browsing or the use of third-party communication software,” the statement said.
“Xiaomi fully respects and protects the legal rights of all users,” it added.
The National Cyber Centre’s report also said the Xiaomi phone was sending encrypted phone usage data to a server in Singapore, which could be against European data regulations.

Tom signs Nolan’s next
This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.
Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).
Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.
Tom’s busy schedule
Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
