We say that so-called “smartphones” have become remote controls for everyday life to an extreme extent. At the same time, manufacturers periodically warn their customers that these “remote controls” are being monitored unbeknownst to their users: recently, it was (considered armored) Apple with regard to the previous version of its iOS 26 operating system for its iPhones – adding to its notification that a) these specific hackers “are extremely well-funded and use sophisticated techniques to deceive users, often mimicking urgent messages from Apple,” and b) that there is particular targeting of “journalists, activists, and political actors.” It didn’t say who these hackers are, it simply photographed them.
What is more likely under these conditions? Silent compromise with digital surveillance or independence from all kinds of remote controls? As if we can hear the answer: we will not go back to the caves!!!
(Let the “addicted” not oversay that about the caves. They might need them again – as far as they “have a signal”…)
