Lol wut? Meta has been working with the IOF and NSO and US for years

That’s fucked

They literally broadcast their location publicly on their website.

This public tracking is the only reason they didn’t all get murdered on the last boat

Does it include private keys? Or just message history?

We don’t know that.

Wtf, they lock you out of doing your own backups, and now they’re trying to hold this feature request for ransom as a monetization strategy?!?

Just let me backup and restore my private keys, assholes

Maybe. The only apps I ever bought were off Google Play, anyway. Threema and OsmAnd.

How? Nobody buys Samsung or OnePlus locked down crap anyway

That’s a security nightmare

dating

What dating apps work in Andorid? Lol

Meh, this will just push more people to not install gapps. None of these issues affect folks who don’t install gapps.

The best apps are on fdroid, anyway. If I was a Dev I wouldn’t bother putting it on Google play, anyway

I’m not 100% sure, but I think the vulnerability is in the broadband processor.

Huh. I’ve heard there are countries that exist where companies are legally allowed to refuse cash.

If that really is the case, then I guess your best option is to donate to your local lobbiest group to fix your (lack of) government regulations.

Contact the local government. Its probably illegal for them not to accept cash.

Broadband processors on your device are extremely vulnerable black boxes. Almost all of the attacks that Citizen Lab discovered come from this vector.

By not using a Sim card, you significantly decrease the surface area for attack, making yourself invulnerable to the majority of these zero days

They can’t. They have zero days that push vulnerabilities down to you from the tower.

Nope

Jesus no. I’m saying almost all of the exploits found by citizen lab are delivered by cell tower.

Don’t connect to cell towers.

No. There are secure payment methods. Credit cards and tap to pay are both terribly insecure.
