Well Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan. Most of the phones are actually made in China or India (PCBs and assembly) I believe.

Good fucking luck bringing any actual consequences to Microsoft except a fine of 0.001% of their yearly profits after 5 years of arbitration.

Thank you!!

I get so frustrated seeing privacy advocates saying “I will just go back to a dumb phone”. Dumb phones had no concept of privacy ever, it is just rose colored glasses all the way down.

The police literally didn’t need access to your phone because every call and text was logged by the phone company and they just hand it over without question.

Hell, when I was a teenager and got my first dumb phone, my parents could request a copy of every single text I ever sent.

You can’t put matrix or signal on a dumb phone, the only benefit is no GPS, and some also have that. Plus as the author said, they are either not encrypted or have some old version of software that probably has dozens of CVEs.
