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.

    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...)
