 Everybody go update your iPhones.

 @689949c6 Thank God for GrapheneOS. 
 @689949c6 Either some exploit developer somewhere just happens to really like taking apart iMessage, or Apple has a serious flaw in their entire systems security design.

These threats are the perfect way to keep people updating their software.

Again, fear keeps us all inline.

We have no control over our phones. We carry them around so we're already tracked, monitored, and everything on them is at the mercy of the developers.

We can still throw them away, hense the push for implants that will make it permanent.
