I'm looking for user's opinions on the security of Boyue Eink tablets. I've only had Samsung, Amazon and Nokia android devices in the past and have never considered the security of using my Google account on them. However, the janky way Google accounts have to be enabled on the Boyue devices has given me pause for thought, not least of which is the country of origin of the devices.

Am I being overly concerned about this? Has anyone with technical knowledge noticed anything untoward in the traffic packets that leave the device when connected to WiFi? Would rather not be giving account details to foreign governments if I can avoid it.
