Must have come as a surprise to yobs using Google’s Android-based phones, right?
Well, it shouldn’t be.
It is Google.
And despite Google’s mea culpa today, why on Earth, should you use their devices going forward? Apart from low cost, that is.
Makes you wonder what else they can do, remotely, hmmm?
And yes, it is true that Apple iPhones, which I use, have such functionality as well. However, as Steve Jobs himself stated on this issue back in 2008: “…hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull.”, as theirs is for malicious apps. Actors too, maybe?
I believe Apple.
I don’t trust Google.
Never did trust Google.
