You should look up “baseband radio vulnerabilities”.
It is still unknown how many radios have code that might allow a back door similar to Intel’s mgmt engine. But the firmware blobs are all closed, and very few ppl know what they actually contain.
If you don’t want to be tracked, get an open platform device.

Well even good old typewriter is not safe is it…
They way you can be tracked across the web even with your device metrics alone or morbid repetetive habits is frankly… terrifying.
And how many % of the world population do you think is willing to sacrifice convenience for (passing) privacy ?
I write my own tools. Most people avoid anything beyond “click and download”
It’s wanted behaviour. Sadly. #ForTheProfit #GiveUsYourDataOmNomNom
