Why don't we address the root of the problem? Who controls computer? If user of computer (with phone features) doesn't have a full control over it then this situation can and will be abused by some one who does. It seems a logical consequence of not having full control over your own computer.
Why we discuss mostly the degree of such abuse and not the core of the problem ?
Another core of the problem is dealing with communist regimes. We never learn? Communists are literally responsible for millions of deaths in the 20th century.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDTbNmUgeXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDTbNmUgeXk) They have a good record of disrespecting human rights. Why someone sane would expect them to respect any of his rights now?
- tomc1985 6y agoBecause there is a lot more money to be made when you don't control the computer. We are in the middle of a data gold rush. Business types can't resist.
- lovelyviking 6y agoReminds me a bit logic of a thief which just can't resist.
- SilverRed 6y agoBecause it hardly makes a difference to power users, let alone average people. The Pixel phones come loaded with Google spyware, but you can flash your own rom on it to do whatever you want. But unless someone is out there developing an alternative rom without spyware that does everything you need, it may as well be locked down.
- superkuh 6y agoI couldn't agree more. Software companies have latched on to the idea that they can sell software but the users can never own the software. This naturally led to worse abuses when the software could be loaded over a network. But the core problem is the assertion of ownership and control.
