JFC… that’s dystopian. A rooted android with a custom rom (shoutout GrapheneOS) can disable the GPRS connection, then could rely on dns filtered, firewalled, and VPN’d WiFi networks to make calls and texts.

What’s shitty tho is the average person likely won’t even care and will accept spyware on their device as the new normal. That just makes me sad tbh.

Exactly. I won’t ever put that level of trust into any company to keep all the keys to my entire digital safe.

Password Safe on Android is good too. It doesn’t have Internet permission, and encrypted backups can be kept locally on air gapped storage, so the only person to blame if I were to ever get owned is myself.
