    External PC programs that can be used to break into phones is not the same as apps being able to circumvent OS-level disabling lol.

      Okay now I know you’re arguing in bad faith. Not only were 2 of the articles about apps on a phone and not external Israeli software, but over half my comment was about on-phone software bypassing permissions.

      Goodbye.

          I literally quoted an article saying how meta and Yandex specifically got through operating system features it wasn’t supposed to.

          Anyone who comes across this chain can easily see at this point you’re a bad faith troll now. A bad one at that. This discussion is over. Blocking you now.
