I’m pretty sure the “temporarily turn off finding” feature actually just alerts the FBI you pressed it and keeps tracking
This can be viewed as both a good or a bad thing, personally I love my Android and the removable battery. Not looking forward to having to upgrade since it’s getting harder and harder to find devices with a removable battery.
So its a tracking system that can only be turned off in software… For now.
But you can’t be sure tho
Can’t believe how Apple manages to get creepier every time, smh. Not being able to properly power off your device, I mean how obvious can it be? Now that gives a whole other meaning to not being able to easily remove the phone’s battery.
This is just one of the reasons we need open source hardware along with firmware and mobile Linux distributions for phones, now more than ever.
For privacy, anything from Apple, Google, or Microsoft is just deal-with-it topped off with sugar coated marketing. For most people that’s not much of a problem.
But for journalists and privacy conscious people, Linux phones with open source hardware is the only chance for real privacy. Which, unfortunately, are not getting mainstream anytime soon
I strongly disagree. That’s a problem for everyone. Everyone needs privacy, not just journalists.
