Went through the apps on my Samsung just now. I didn't find the Aura app that he was talking about but there is an app called Samsung Cloud that I never installed (probably came with the phone or with an update) and it had pretty much every permission allowed on there and android says it accessed Calendar, contacts and SMS in the last 24 hours. The problem with "just use Huawei" or whatever; I've had OnePlus and other small brand or less common phones in the past and they stop getting updates almost immediately and basic functionality gets broken within a short period of time. My Samsung phones usually last 3-4 years before I have an urge to upgrade and they simply just work.
I've always had a suspicion that manufacturers were using updates to upload pictures/data back to them rather than download any meaningful updates. For example, I barely use my windows laptop anymore, and every single time I finish using it, it takes about 30 minutes to shutdown because it always has a bunch of "updates."

And I pay for almost everything with paper money and have only borrowed money once in my life - for a mortgage.
Because fuck the jew.
I avoided them early on (when they were brick-sized) because I valued my personal space and I wanted to wait to see if there were any negative radiation issues.
Then I didn't trust my employer wouldn't abuse a mobile and call me 24/7 (day and night and weekends) to fix his mismanagement problems.
Mobiles started becoming ((( surveillance devices ))) around that time and I wanted no part of that.
I'm a contractor and I have no need to apply for jobs normally with resumes, so that helps a lot.
I've also worked in industries where mobile phones are not allowed in the workplace for security reasons, which made things slightly easier.
I am heavily conflicted because I would love to carry a mobile in case of emergencies (if my car breaks down or if my wife or kids need something), but I refused to be part of ((( the problem ))).

I mean, why not have one you keep off in a Faraday pouch, that you pull out for emergencies? It's better than dying or something because you can't call for help in a bad situation.
