True, which is why organizations like @privacy exist, and why you should support them.

They do the research and the lobbying. That's worth your support.

@FrankauLux @privacy

We are not talking about the same thing: you are talking about phones, I am talking about preventing the installation of security patches.

Defeating the security of one individual phone is one thing, preventing the updates of hundreds, or millions, of services is something else entirely.
