13 hours agoI think Lockdown might be too much for the average person, since it imposes limitations to reduce the attack surface (breaks some websites, some apps dont work properly)
I would just recommend he enables Advance Data Protection on his iPhone, disables analytics, and switches to privacy-focused apps. Apple has decent privacy, even by default compared to Android
I agree that systems have their flaws, but that doesnt mean theyre tampered or infected by government agencies, if this were true they wouldnt be forcing tech companies to create backdoors (UK government wanted a backdoor to Apple users ADP encrypted data)
What feels like spyware is that phones and apps collect so much data which then gets shared or sold to data-brokers or third parties, and then to government agencies
And encrypted apps do help, even if theyre in a flawed system
What we need is a more privacy conscious society, which then implements stronger privacy laws
