Do you realise how much Apple / Google can already screw up your phone today, even without a kill switch? Your phone is already constantly contacting their servers and running code from them. If they wanted your phone to stop working, they could do so today.
- JTxt 13y agoThat's correct. So, let's get further away from this cliff of not actually owning/controlling our property, not closer. Edit: Down voting because you disagree? It's a problem that needs solving; I hope we can discuss it.
- JTxt 13y agoI literally used a slippery slope in that argument. :| I'll try again: No-one but ourselves should be able to brick our devices. We don't actually 'own' our property if we can't 100% control what and if it runs. But that's a hard problem to solve in a secure and user friendly way. ...and there's not enough financial incentive by consumers (and certainly by device makers, cell networks, law makers...) to solve it yet.
