Isn't it likely every phone sold in the US is backdoored by the US government?
I'm honestly not sure what to do about phones these days. It's getting to the point where I don't want one, but I essentially need one for work.
- merpnderp 7y agoIsn’t that demonstrably untrue given terrorist attacks and shootings that go undetected even though evidence was later found on their phones?
- acct1771 7y agoJust because you're capturing a bunch of data doesn't mean you're parsing it/piping it correctly. Just ask William Binney, et al, re: 911.
- nailer 7y agoI think the US government probably does do this - I know Intel chips have IME, and it runs Minix, that Intel (and whoever Intel reports to) has access to it, and it has it's own IP stack. But I have no idea about phones - what about ARM? Is there an equivalent?
