I wholeheartedly believe the ClA/NSA can hack into a smartphone and give its user cancer by emitting high radiation. This is based purely off vibes. Can any actual engineers chime in on this? (hexbear.net)

Yeah, there's violations. Some dick heads did this at NSA a number of years back, then interviewed on 60 minutes or something. Like, bro, you're saying the NSA did it (which they can), but you're the one who literally copied personal phone conversations just for funzies, nobody ordered you to! That shit was wild.

But if there's any charges brought before a court without that warrant, the case gets thrown out. So in short, they'll need to disappear you if they want to directly do anything to you. So, chances are, you're not doing something that merits that much time and effort. And if you are, you should know better than to use a registered phone.
