I'm all for privacy but isn't this paranoia with device security a distraction ? It's likely that half a dozen companies have access to your contacts list, and Google, Facebook etc. almost certainly log information about the people you call and are in contact with. Anyone who uses an iphone for 'nefarious' purposes is not very smart.
- hannasanarion 7y agoIt is not a distraction, because suspicionless electronics searches at borders are becoming increasingly common. Facebook knows a lot about you, but do you really want to give all that information to CBP?
- thrwo234234 7y agoIt's only a matter of time before Facebook integration with security services (not just the NSA) becomes seamless. In fact it's already happening - Trump has made social media scanning a pre-requisite for US visas (it's likely this will be extended to US citizens). In contrast, the device itself holds relatively little information that can't be obtained from other sources.
