"Former Apple engineer says the button on iPhones asking apps not to track you is a 'dud' that gives users a 'false sense of privacy.'"

And don't forget it takes silent pictures all the time:

So now they can parse your photos "looking for child porn" and they can also trigger your phone to take pictures without you knowing?? Wow... Not hard to see where this is going.

Apple has some portal for "law enforcement" where they can pull user data without a warrant.

They can literally make an entire clone of your phone without a warrant. I've used the tools.

Through iCloud?

No. An actual virtual clone. If they get your phone for a few hours. They can clone it fully SIM and IMEI and everything. They can get the calls your phone gets same with texts.

Even the typing programs and keyboards software on phones and computers are spyware recording everything you input.
Your spell check is too.

Anyone who hasn't know this for years now is a dumb NPC piece of shit, You got an iPhone, you're nothing more than a piece of shit for Satan....

Right. Everyone is a fucking piece of shit. And you're the only smart asshole in the entire world. Everyone loves Satan and you're obviously God.

He's not wrong though. This has been common knowledge for decades, especially after Snowden.

It's possible to build your own phone, using arduino even.

It only has basic features (call and/or text) - but isn't that the definition of a phone?

That is definitely the other option.

One end is to build a basic phone that doesn't send any data, the other end is to make an app that constantly "phones home" all sorts of random and trivial things.

The "arduino phone" would be more like a home phone, not very portable and even then there needs to be trust in the cellular device to not send whatever signals back.

Many think the freedom phone is a fed honeypot

[ - ] baad73e 2 points 2.5 yearsNov 10, 2021 17:03:44 ago (+2/-0)

It is.

It's just chinese hardware bought off alibaba, loaded with a modified version of android and then sold at a markup. So there's two points of potential compromise. Feel free to look into it, but if you're gonna buy the thing then definitely look into it.
