    I feel like it should be reversed? Id be less concerned about camera/microphone if i knew with 100% certainty no data was leaking from the phone (hardware switch for antennae).

      It seems like it’d be relatively simple for a bad actor to record something and just… wait until you had a data connection though wouldn’t it? Seems like it’d be more secure to just keep there from being any data to send rather than relying on a bad actor not being able to send it. Am I missing something here?

        I’d want a hw kill switch for the modem/receivers so that I can take it with me to protests.

          That is a point, could someone even do that on something classed as a phone though? Don’t most places have some kind of law about these devices always being able to reach emergency services like 911?
