Right, like I'm gonna trust some sketchy software designed by a "Chinese team." Because I've been dying to have my personal data compromised by the Chinese government 
Got a tip for us?

Some of that can be avoided by taking the time to harden the security on the device (with the new access you have) after you jailbreak it. Most (very few) actually do this as it requires command line skills, as well as an understanding of the BSD underpinnings.
I don't jailbreak anymore, but I did like that level of access in the past.
Reducing brightness is not the same thing. Plus I have another tweak that lets my brightness go to basically off.
Well, you know the CIA, FBI, and NSA are very happy about this, since they need to be able to jailbreak iOS devices to get your data off them and install their snooping tools.
The porn apps you can do with 3D Touch on a jailbkreak iPhone 6S!!a jailbroken iphone 6s with support for 3d touch looks pretty promising
Release it right before 9.1 comes out at the end of the month and will patch it. Smart.
Downgrade to 9.0.2 and jailbreak, or continue using 9.1?
9.1 is soo nice, I'm sticking with it. In a perfect world, they just waited for 9.1 to drop and jailbroke that. Now Apple has time to patch the vulnerability for 9.1
I believe he's referring to one of the recent jailbreaks which the Chinese version had malware within one of the installed apps. There have also been a number of exploits recently that take advantage of people that have jailbroken their phones and the lessened security on such devices to install whatever they like.
I'm considering it for the first time. Not happy with Apple's removal of apps. I'm not that keen on simply renting my games/apps for a couple of years.
You've been able to downgrade as long as jailbreaks have been around. One of the things you can do (or should be doing) with a jailbroken phone is save your SHSH blobs. This allows downgrading to previous OS' even after Apple has stopped signing them.
I still jailbreak for the following tweaks
Disturb please - allows me to schedule actual days for the native do not disturb application
Bytafont - Change font
Close all - Allows you to press one button and close all applications running
Instagram hack - allows me to download pictures from Instagram
Photoalbums plus - move pictures from camera roll to specific folders vs copy
With limited tweaks my phone remains stable and I don't worry about data being stolen no more than I do when I slide my debit card to buy gas or use it at store who days later announce their servers were hacked and credit card and info was compromised.

Yes, lets jail brake our iPhones with software from Chinese origin......that should be safe.

Ok I'm confused. If they don't allow it how is it legal? Are you saying its a limitation that wouldn't stand up in court if challenged?
Will jailbreak only if it can add touch id and 3d touch on my iphone 4s.
Why do you provide free publicity to these dangerous criminals? Remember, hacking opens the door to security breaches and put us all in a risky situation. I'm not sure who pays you for these postings. Shouldn't Apple sue these people instead?
It's amazing that they can still find security holes in IOS that allows them to still jailbreak.
With all the news about hacking originating in China, I'm not sure that I would want it on my phone.

It's not possible to downgrade with SHSH blobs as far as I know. It was possible before, but you can't do it now. Apple improved their security.
an existing jailbreak method is a sure sign that an os has critical security flaw. but you are still much safer not jailbreaking your device.
If they didn't, they wouldn't bother with releasing a Jailbreak tool every so often.
I jailbreak to use iBlacklist to block calls from even reaching voicemail unlike the built in blocker.
I jailbreak to block ads in my browser as well as in all free apps and especially, the ones that force you to view an ad before using the app.
I also jailbreak to be able to tether as much as I like. I don't abuse it but I want to be able to use it since I have unlimited data.
3G Unrestrictor also allows me to get past Apples 150GB download restriction.
I also use iTunes Radio unlimited skips. Nothing like being able to skip as many songs as I want.
I use something called Aria which allows me to change the look and way that the music app lists songs and artists.
The list goes on and on.
They still need physical access to your phone, so your safe unless it falls in the wrong hands ;-). Keep it under a pillow.
And let's not forget the main reason most people jaikbreak: so they can pirate paid apps
