Vo - https://noauthority.social/@Vo What IF I use Windows phone or Symbian phone? <<digging old mobile phone collection box>>

immobile - https://poa.st/users/immobile Yeah I don't know why they specified iPhone/Android, really. No mention of OTR/OMEMO/PGP either, which are platform/device-independent. Probably just don't want to overwhelm people.

@immobile@poa.st - https://poa.st/users/immobile Vo - https://noauthority.social/@Vo I'd prefer installing grapheneOS, hardcore encryption with nuke keys.

Vo - https://noauthority.social/@Vo @immobile@poa.st - https://poa.st/users/immobile that's just because of design. Unfortunately you'd have to purchase a rooted phone from a Chinese company if you want to have a headphone jack and a hard coded backdoor in the CPU.

Vo - https://noauthority.social/@Vo @immobile@poa.st - https://poa.st/users/immobile at the end of the day, there is no alternative, youre able to hack into any phone regardless what function it uses. Break into it wirelessly or hardwired, it doesn't matter, there will always be a flaw but you can beef up the security by configuring it correctly and not running it out of the box with default settings.

@lnx@poa.st - https://poa.st/users/lnx Vo - https://noauthority.social/@Vo Yes! I call it "Espionage society vNext". Everything is saved, analysed and later used against you when needed. More devices connected to internet, more data to be collected. Sick society, they have always collapsed soon after.
