<story><title>Smartphone Hardening non-root Guide 2.0 (for normal people)</title><url>https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/38770</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>thornjm</author><text>A bunch of app suggestions for reading reddit and watching youtube is terrible security advice and borderline dangerous. People should refrain from providing any (pseudo) security advice unless they know what they are talking about.&lt;p&gt;There may exist people with a genuine need for device hardening and I hope they do not read this article.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: I’ll leave my comment but I on second reading I notice that the author is specifically targeting normal people and is trying to make it accessible. Arguably should still not be called “hardening”.</text></comment>
<story><title>Smartphone Hardening non-root Guide 2.0 (for normal people)</title><url>https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/38770</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>Havoc</author><text>&amp;gt;iPhone does not allow you to have privacy due to its blackbox nature&lt;p&gt;This is a stupid argument. My mobile banking app isn&amp;#x27;t open source either but I&amp;#x27;m pretty sure it&amp;#x27;s reasonably private. Privacy &amp;lt;&amp;gt; open source. Two entirely separate topics than aren&amp;#x27;t mutually exclusive (or inclusive).&lt;p&gt;Besides I own &amp;amp; use both iOS &amp;amp; Android. My privacy worries are disproportionately on the android side. The respective pi-hole logs alone give me pause for thought. Canonical android seems OK, but the stuff that actually ships on specific manufacturers is infested for lack of better word. (Why did the pi-hole average block rate shoot up 400%? oh right friend with her android phone visited).</text></comment>
