en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseband_processor >A baseband processor typically uses its own RAM and firmware >Since the software which runs on baseband processors is usually proprietary, it is impossible to perform an independent code audit. By reverse engineering some of the baseband chips, researchers have found security vulnerabilities that could be used to access and modify data on the phone remotely fsf.org/blogs/community/replicant-developers-find-and-close-samsung-galaxy-backdoor >Today's phones come with two separate processors: one is a general-purpose applications processor that runs the main operating system, e.g. Android; the other, known as the modem, baseband, or radio, is in charge of communications with the mobile telephony network. This processor always runs a proprietary operating system, and these systems are known to have backdoors that make it possible to remotely convert the modem into a remote spying device. The spying can involve activating the device's microphone, but it could also use the precise GPS location of the device and access the camera, as well as the user data stored on the phone. Moreover, modems are connected most of the time to the operator's network, making the backdoors nearly always accessible >we discovered that the proprietary program running on the applications processor in charge of handling the communication protocol with the modem actually implements a backdoor that lets the modem perform remote file I/O operations on the file system
Phones are insecure, stop using and walking around with a device that has access to your files and data. Stop using a device that is restricted and locked down by the manufacture in all aspects and is built on proprietary hardware and firmware.
I'm to deep into the botnet to stop using a mobile phone.

I want to be able to comunicate with my friends or see their new states and publications without carrying a laptop. We already live in continuously surveillance by the government, stop using your electronic devices will only make you a target of investigation. The best way to be anonymous is security through obscurity. If you use normie botnets you seem normal. And using separate devices for other purposes is the right thing to do.

Minor sacrifices have to be made for the greater good, for freedom, and for making a statement. Imagine if the average consumer wasn't ignorant, and simply didn't buy devices with proprietary hardware: everything would be open source. Of course this isn't the case, which is why supporting modern consumerist technology is so dangerous. Convenience should not trump all else. >I want to be able to comunicate with my friends or see their new states and publications This is all nonsense, utter drivel that anyone can forgo for the better. >security through obscurity There is no security from the ever-steeper slippery slope that is consumer technology. You already describe complete and utter dependency on what amounts to social media and insecure forms of communication - how can you be in any way secure when bit by bit you become more and more dependent, while at the same time manufactures and developers and engineers backed by whatever interested entity(s) can get away with more and more thanks to consumers' blind adoption of such a anti-user, anti-privacy practices so prevalent today? Your argument is basically "I don't care enough to care", which is not an argument.

>muh baseband exploits That is a relatively small issue since only state actors really have the resources to make use of them and they require you to spoof a tower and connect directly to the phone you're targeting. Compare that to how your cell service provider collects your rough location data from the towers you connect to and your signal strength, and sells that data to advertisers. Pic related shows how long they maintain the data they store, but keep in mind that picture is 7 years old now so they're most likely storing more data now.
And one of the companies that buys the data: airsage.com/

How much protection do I get by enabling airplane mode when I leave the house?
Lincoln Richardson
I use an iPhone 6S. Whenever I'm not in my house, unless I'm actively using it, the phone is freshly reset. No iCloud backups (I use an XP machine that isn't connected to the internet to do encrypted backups). When it's at home, Wifi is WPA2, 128 character password that nobody knows (keepass generated).
I'd be pretty impressed if someone managed to get into my phone.
Depends on the strength of your password, and if your phone is encrypted or not.
Presuming that you have encryption enabled and a good password (mine is 25 digits long - but just numbers), it should be perfectly secure. Otherwise, you're vulnerable should you misplace/lose the phone (and keep in mind that pickpockets DO exist, even if you are responsible about keeping track of your phone).

Lincoln Gonzalez
I don't have kiddie porn. Hell, I don't even have regular porn (streaming sites are fine on the rare occasion that my wife is out of the house and I've got an urge that can't wait for her to get back).
That said, society has effectively reached the point where privacy is an opt-in thing, rather than an opt-out (unless you're Amish). So, if I'm going to opt in, I may as well take a couple extra minutes to make sure that its not a placebo.

Ever redpill a normie about how much data Google collects on them? They get really alarmed and ask you "user, how can I stop it, what can I do?" And then you tell them they need to stop using Google services, and they reply ".....Oh. Well, I guess it's not THAT bad, then...".
The average person is a bootlicker that will whore themselves out to corporations or governments for the slightest bit of convenience. Let them rot, so long as I have the means to avoid their fate.
Eli White
Agreed. Most people can't even be assed to stop using Siri, Cortana, or OK Goggle, let alone bother to read privacy policies on apps.
I find it hilarious how many iPhone users are infuriated at Accuweather for mining location data and selling it. If you read their privacy policy (which wasn't long), it was blatantly obvious that this was their plan. Even if you paid for premium features, it didn't protect you - it only subsidized the free users.
Carrot Weather, on the other hand, has a privacy policy that is locked the fuck down. The maker's ONLY means of profit is the App Store.
Parker Young
I've yet to hear a convincing argument about why I should be alarmed at Google having that information. Seems to me that right-wing bigots are just making hay out of this so they don't feel alone and isolated like they should be.
RevCom uses android phones at every counter-protest I've seen so clearly Google doesn't care about political activity so long as you aren't a nazi.

Cameron Garcia
It's not a matter of "why should Google get to know everything about what I do online", it's a matter of "why should ANYONE get to know everything about what I do online?"
If you trust Google now, you're also trusting them in perpetuity. They don't forget. Even if they say they do, you can't verify that. Even if you don't think Google is evil now, do you trust them to never be evil, ever? Whether by their own will or as a result of government compulsion?
Also, if you're left-wing, and opposed to right-wingers, you should be all the more skeptical of a big private corporation knowing everything you do. If you believe that there's a lot of systemic oppression of those who have historically been poor and marginalized, the last thing you should want to do is to trust the protection of poor and marginalized people, and the ability of those people to speak, to a giant tech company with lots of lobbyists and the benevolence of a government currently controlled by Donald Trump and a large crowd of Republicans. You should want systems that are decentralized and that can't be controlled by any corporation or government.

>Grow some self-awareness, amerifat. I suggest you try it yourself. I'm not a huge fan of Nazism, personally. But if the "tolerant" people are going to act like fucking Puritans while they wield cultural influence, one shouldn't expect the "less enlightened" ones to behave any better when they get in power.

Isaiah Bailey
Pretty sure the dude you're responding to is a hardline communist who thinks that if only communism was implemented, his left-wing politics will remain untouched in perpetuity. Never mind the fact that pretty much every communist party starts off pretty idealistic, yet falls back to conservatism pretty quickly. Like in Russia, where abortions and divorce were easy to obtain for the first few years - until the birth rate plummeted, and they banned both.

I've always considered the pendulum thing a myth. Yeah, political parties go back and forth, but history in terms of social progress has been linear since around the enlightenment. I don't see any reason for that to stop now. What we're seeing at the moment is some people who have 19th century values who are being purged from polite society. Those of us who can keep up with the times and not hate people based on race or gender won't be having any trouble.
I am skeptical of right wingers, but Google is not even remotely right-wing. In-fact they've proved their progressive bonafides by firing a sexist developer recently. I think that says something positive about their culture. As I said above, I don't buy into the pendulum so no I don't think a company like Google is going to attack marginalized people because that would be wildly unpopular.
Cooper Campbell
>That's not unusual in your pc too The concerns of Intel ME/AMD equivalent are real (see: libreboot.org/faq.html#intelme), but you have the option of flashing custom, open source BIOS like libreboot or coreboot on modern hardware, essentially having a free and usable laptop. However, this option simply does not exist on modern smartphones in regards to the baseband, and aspects like the bootloader and firmware are also largely restricted to proprietary reliance. Furthermore, you can block malicious/unwanted connections from ME on the router level, while this option does not exist on cellular networks and the baseband, which communicates unrestricted.

China is a loose cannon. They will almost certainly fall into decades of political violence and probably split apart. The institutional exploitation of their labour force is in no way sustainable. And I don't care how many yellow midgets there are, hundreds of millions of whites are going to cause some shit if they had to stop living in a decadent society. The people who took over whole countries with a handful of boats aren't going to lie down when they face hardships. They have carpet bombers now. And nearly ended the planet last time they were in a real war.
