Can anyone tell this meme is true or false? I don’t have Gspy so I cannot test this

    You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t believe that those fuckers are being honest and open with our data.

      That’s the neat thing, you don’t have to believe: the researchers proved that it works like that.

      Of course that only applies to the models they tested, and not future ones, but still.

        No, it only applies to what they understood about the software and hardware, not any potential updates or firmware bugs being deliberately put out as backdoors. You know, the stuff that has been whistleblown on repeatedly. Oh well, why bother to remember all that stuff. It’s much easier to get angry at those nerds for spreading conspiracy theories about the Zionist glory of Google.

        The truth is, none of you would believe this stuft was secure if your life depended on it. Your threat model is to be so entertained it would be foolish to kill you. Keep clapping big boy

          Why are you talking about me as if you thought you knew who I was.

          I don’t believe a quarter of the shit you put on me. I don’t believe in Google having ethics, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make predictions.

          Yes, firmware updates exist. But since Google designed the things that way, there’s also a reasonable assumption that they’ll continue to work as they do for the foreseeable future. Doesn’t mean anyone should buy it or rely on it, but we weren’t talking about that.

            That’s not a reasonable assumption to make about a company that brags about how closely it works with NATO, which has very clear “counterintelligence” goals which are more like zero tolerance for anything left if you read abt Gladio and shit. I think it reflects serious inconsistencies to read articles about Palestinians being stalked and tortured by American tech companies & their gulf state benefactors, then go, oh yippee, I found security researches born and bred in the exact same creche as all the other tech psychopaths, who act befuddled like “b-buh there’s no reason google would ever do that?! It would be against their business model!! 8D” like genuinely who givrs a fuck im sorry maybe it’s just you saying this about people who brag about hauling people in for torture, that is bothering me about the remark lmao. If I missed some subtleties

      That’s the neat part. You don’t. There is an entire industry of devs trying to be the guy who conclusively proved all the companies are actually recording you.
