… but only if you run GrapheneOS on them. Here‘s a nice conclusion.
Oh, and for those who still think that they have nothing to hide – a user called “final” has a nice comment about that on the GrapheneOS forum. He wrote:
“GrapheneOS, Google, Samsung, Apple and the greater mobile security community is neither a “potential criminal” or a “malicious actor”. These authoritarian talking points are stale and come from the same playbook as “Think of the children” and other fallacy phrases meant to attack you as being a danger for something as simple as wanting to protect yourself. GrapheneOS protects users against criminals, from hackers, abusers, stalkers and corrupt up to the most capable and wealthy in business and government.
These companies do not engage in ethical practices and virtues that make you a trustworthy member of the security community, like responsible disclosure. A software developer is entitled to know that their software is being or is attempted to be exploited by a wealthy, influential threat actor. What we do against these groups is an act of self-defence. Not trying to do anything about it is complicity against the use of these tools to violate people’s basic human rights. Despite the amount of controls they claim to make on their products, they still cant combat illicit use of it, as seen in Serbia. At the bare minimum, single illicit use of these tools anywhere in the world immediately makes their exploit a cyberweapon that must be neutralised. Them being an exploit alone is the only justification we need to seek disrupting these threat actors’ work.”
