You just kind of blew up your UID by using your memes in the wrong context
Especially the one with the (you) in it. First day?
>Android is P
Yeah nothing to see. Right. Yeah, yeah, It's copypasta but people need to see this, if they haven't yet.
Do you notice that your handset still picks up audio cues for ads?
Even though the Google assistant is "off" on your phone?
The CIA has tabs on everyone, still. [They] use Google (and Facebook, Twitter, and other pre-loaded apps) to do it. [They] can listen to your most private conversations. And know exactly where you said it. Even if you've never actually used the app.
Here's how to stop allowing satan into your device.
Exit all of your apps and reboot the phone. Once the phone is to the home screen:
Go to google.app's info page.
Stop the google.app process.
Clear app cache
Clear app data
Go to app permissions.
Turn off all permissions listed in the google.app permissions section.
Disable Google.app.
Reboot the phone.
Enjoy not being monitored by Google.
<But why does this matter? I disabled it! WTF?
Research in the wild has shown that just disabling these apps is not enough; The preloaded apps cannot be uninstalled, being part of the ROM software. Being "disabled" just means that the icons have been hidden from the user in the interface; They are still useable by the system. Permissions matter; It's literally comparable to allowing satan into your house.
The example is for google.app specifically, but it will also work with other pre-loaded bloatware, like facebook.app and twitter.app. Apple and Microsoft are no better. Same idea applies to those: Deny permissions first, and then disable the apps and reboot.
Feel free to feel superior. You've got nothing else to rebut me than that? Okay :)
Many don't even know what rooting a device is. Permissions matter no matter what the device is, and you should know that, being a l337 h4x0r.
>whatever, your info doesn't fix anything.
In that case Google has a class action lawsuit on their hands that will put them out of business. Millions of compromised handsets worldwide that do no honor permissions?
Do you have sauce for this?
If yes, then post it.
If no, you are a shill posting sauceless claims.
Good day.
Plus, you're agreeing with my OP at this point. read it again. Do I not implore people to check permissions on their phones?
