In the article there’s a link to an updated article, where it is revealed that this particular bit of code wasn’t done by Motorola but a third-party company. And that the affiliate link wasn’t Motorola but some random fashion influencer, I’m wondering if something was done under the table here without Motorola’s knowledge.
Being that Motorola Mobility is owned by Lenovo who had the Superfish adware scandal back in 2015, I’m not shocked. Lenovo has proven willing to tamper with their customers’ web traffic on multiple occasions now. Avoid Lenovo/Motorola Mobility.
Ironic that the only phone that will support Graphene OS will be a Motorola.
You know, if that materializes, and if it’s available outside of business customers.
This is creepy.
My social conspiracy mind makes me think it was an inside smear job and someone got paid to do it because of Motorola’s deal with GrapheneOS.
There’s surveillance “arms race” going on.
Authentic humans should be conducting a privacy “arms race” at all costs.
Life is starting to look like maybe it’s a better just to leave it all behind. Fuck this place.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but I’m happy to see this.
Why? Did you read the article?
Corporatespeak translation of Motorola’s response: “It was unintended that we be caught.”
