Refuting the allegations, the company said that though the file does exist, it is blacklisted and there is no iota of truth that users information is being sent to the Chinese server.

OnePlus also maintains that company’s operating system for China HydrogenOS has a folder that weed out competitors  and blocks them, for example—WeChat. This they say is the proof that the process of filtering is restricted only to China and not to other countries.
