Google Confirms Android Camera Security Threat: ‘Hundreds of Millions’ Affected

How strange that this wasn’t discovered and revealed by Project Zero. How did they miss this?

Of course hardware switches for the mic/camera/baseband are out of the question...

I've had the Pixel 1 for almost three years now. Solid phone. But I always knew it had a manufacturer-installed backdoor. Does anyone know on the progress on GNU/Linux, privacy-focused phones?

With all the news of vulnerabilities in Android recently, as well as the fact that most Android phones come with spyware from the manufacturer preinstalled, it is clear that Android is pure garbage. I hope Microsoft takes note and decides to get back in the game with Windows mobile very soon.
