cheers for that, but all i see on that list is a whole bunch of "this could lead" and "there's a possibility", not any widespread outtages of breaches of entire product lines, like we have seen in the past with botnets and viruses in the pc world. i'm all for precaution, but again, i can't think of a time there's been a worldwide, or even nationally localized, smart phone infection across a brand or product line due to the ending of regular security updates, and i'd be interested if anyone knew if there ever has been.

what i'm thinking is, while it's best practice to have manufacturers/phone company os gui security updates for any smart phone in use, it's not the end of the world if there aren't. i could be wrong, but "this could lead" and "there's a possibility" is warning, not proof or anything at all

when was the last time you heard of an older model smart phone model or line becoming so insecure due to the lack of ongoing "operating system" or "manufacturers security updates", off the top of my head I can't think of one

all this is understood, but the access is what's paramount, not the state of the media

They figured out that egalitarian secular Democracy wasn't meeting their racist ends, and couldn't ever be forced to through the power of argument, so instead of changing what they want, they're out to destroy the entire construct
