I fee bad for the normies ....
It sucks that privacy is a luxury for the knowledgeable ... and a chore.
That's why we need tools like Veilid to become more popular. Everyone should host a node right now.

Compartmentalizing it and/or blocking it with zero trust whitelisting would stop it.

Usable flip phones connect over 4G or 5G. Almost all (affordable) 4G or 5G modems secretly run Linux, including the ones built into laptops and tablets. Remote code execution bugs have actually been found in these modems.
Don’t blindly trust flip phones unless they receive regular firmware updates.

my dream is a flip feature phone that can act as a hotspot. Go to settings and activate hotspot and then it throws a random code on the screen to use with your laptop or tablet. would be the bomb.

I’m getting a connection denied error, it looks this website doesn’t like certain countries (oh, the irony).

I can’t say I’m too impressed. I fail to see the new parts covered by this article.
The ad-based surveillance design (several Israeli advertising agencies linked together as fronts to get more tracking data out of Google advertising and serve targeted malvertising) isn’t that new or unexpected, but I guess I haven’t read a particular report about these specific companies doing it.
As for the spyware tool, it looks like it’s just another set of state-licensed Israeli companies writing spyware and selling it to malicious governments. I’m not sure what’s “insane” about these particular spyware suites, the closest thing I can find is a spyware package that works on Android, iOS, and Windows getting hyped up, but even that is an old report.
