OMG, finally! Texting is NOT secure nor reliable. I fucking hate texting, especially when a cmpany just texts me shit without asking, like my Dentist. I've quit dentists because they did that shit.
I guess we didn't really need to ban Huwai now, did we? Perhaps just secure things with an ssl key instead of default passwords. "admin/admin"

Banning Huwai is as effective as banning cheap Chinese electric cars. In theory they could be hacked but why would they bother when we barely have any security discipline to begin with?

The proles may give up privacy for entertainment, but the ones who don't want to still have to use the same communication systems as them.

Cell phones are basically useless for me now. I didn't use apps, now I can't make calls.
