Appreciate your concern is genuine, but I think most of the people benefit from this lockdown mode are people who are mostly technically illiterate, and at the same time they are also cash strapped, unless they are the journalists from well funded media company.
What these people needed from the tech community is a fool proof failed safe way to turn the security level to the max.
What Apple just did is going in this direction. I am hope Google can do the same.
- cguess 4y agoJust wanted to say thank you for making this point. Far too many people on this site (and in tech in general) fall into this category: https://xkcd.com/2501/ https://xkcd.com/2501/ People being targeted by the NSO Group are generally very smart very educated people, but they're journalists, not digital security specialists. They may even know how to beat a tail, but they have no idea about MAC addresses. As someone who has been on both sides of the divide just "flipping a switch" is a massive upgrade to the ability for reporters and activists to keep themselves and their contacts safe.
