    That only mitigates. There are still a number of ways to potentially track a hardened phone, and countless ways to breach proper OPSEC on social media that have nothing to do with the platform.

    Don’t rely entirely on system choices to keep you safe.

        your modem baseband is 100% hackable or already backdoored

        I hear this mentioned a lot but how exactly is it “backdoored”?

        Like… does LineageOS help? Does GrapheneOS help?

        Is it like IntelME/AMD-PSP?

        (Oh btw LineageOS apparantly breaks the data connection of my carrier so… 🤷‍♂️ there’s that…)
