It runs Android, so it’s just as hackable and vulnerable to authoritarian systems as any other smart phone.

that’s dumb. it’s very likely just as vulnerable as androids. the modem’s software is full of decades legacy cruft and many security holes, and likely not properly separated from the mic, the ram or the storage

I have a MRE Nokia phone, that can run a kind of ELF apps. There is no permission system so even worse than Android. At least apps can’t run in the background so they can only exfiltrate SMSs and unconsensual photos when open, and the latter takes ages over EDGE…

It’s cute you think they need to hack the OS get access to your phone.
