Our whole lives are in our phones. We’re addicted to feeding them data about ourselves, and we take them with us everywhere we go. But Snowden says they’re tracking devices.

Snowden teamed up with hardware security expert Bunnie Huang to craft a device that could tell if your phone was sending off information about you without you knowing.

4:32 – Then Bunnie went even further and decided to build from scratch a device he could actually trust.

Pinephone is definitely not perfect
but nearly 'secure' when using a linux OS.


One of the best indicators of spyware is the occasional glitches that occur when the phone is being manipulated.
On an Android device such glitches can be immediately buried and erased.
On a linux system such a glitch should leave obvious timestamp gaps
and footprints that can be examined.


Change my perception ?

The piece didn't really focus on operating systems or software. Bunnie focuses on hardware insecurity. These remain even with a linux system on top of it.
