U.S. Lawmakers Question Security of OnePlus Devices Amid Data Concerns
- On June 28, 2025, U.S. Representatives John Moolenaar and Raja Krishnamoorthi called for the Commerce Department to investigate OnePlus over data security concerns.
- The request follows a recent analysis from a commercial company alleging OnePlus devices may transmit sensitive user data to Chinese servers without consent.
- Lawmakers highlighted the widespread availability of OnePlus smartphones in the U.S. and urged the Commerce Department to evaluate adding the company to the Entity List to limit its access to American technology.
- The analysis indicated possible data transfers include personal information and screenshots, but no concrete evidence has been publicly produced to prove these claims.
- The investigation could lead to policy actions restricting OnePlus device sales in the U.S. due to potential national security risks linked to data practices.
