You’re not getting it. Again:
If you don’t control it, you don’t own it.
Buying something does not mean you control it. You might have bought an Amazon Ring doorbell but if Amazon does not like your behavior they can (and will) render it dysfunctional.
If you don’t control it, you don’t own it.
Ah magical slippery slope stuff any another product 🙄👌👍
No amount of money you pay for your phone up-front will make that malicious code magically go away. You can pay cash, and you can even tip the seller. The code that reduces your control remains in that device. If you don’t control it, you don’t own it.
Lolol, nobody is using the API on my phone. Its existence doesn't harm me in the last bit. You should stop using Linux if the existence of remote management bothers you.
You’re very trusting of your corporate overlords. I’m sure they are grateful for your steadfast loyalty and trust.
You honestly don't know how this tech works, do you...
