I am greatly displeased at the smartphone industry. I think it’s time for a heavy handed crackdown about all the spying they’re doing. The smartphone industry and in particular the company qualcomm I find an intolerable company in their practice, I believe they should be smashed, their equiment liquidated and their intellectual property destroyed.
The smartphone industry is a festering cancer on general computing, a persistent and pernicious assault on human rights. An invasion of our private spaces. A colonization of our lives.
I think it is past the point of reform, not that there are any regulator with to intelligence figure out what is wrong let alone the wherewithal to do anything about.
For those reasons, I think global thermonuclear war is our only realistic option for setting back the clock on this travesty.
I am willing to hear your alternative, I don’t believe anything short of that has a snowball’s chance in hell to change anything about this.
Question: what happens when, inevitably, every manufacturer locks down locks out etc. everything so not a single smartphone made can be modified in the slightest? Because I figure we’re only a few years away from that at best :-(
Better yet, what happens when the oligarchs make it a felony to modify your spy-device smartphone? Because we aren’t far from that either.
There will probably always be a manufacturer that looks at that niche.
I sincerely hope that that is true. Then again my second concern that I mentioned is how long before it becomes a felony?
