When you need to drop off your tech devices for a repair, how confident are you that they won’t be snooped on?
CBC’s Marketplace took smartphones and laptops to repair stores across Ontario — including large chains Best Buy and Mobile Klinik — and found that in more than half of the documented cases, technicians accessed intimate photos and private information not relevant to the repair.
Marketplace dropped off devices at 20 stores, ranging from small independent shops to medium-sized chains to larger national chains, after installing monitoring software on the devices. In total, 16 stores were recorded. (At four stores, the tracking software didn’t log anything, or the stores didn’t appear to turn the devices on.)
Technicians at nine stores accessed private data, including one technician who not only viewed photos but copied them onto a USB key.
Ehh. Your way sets really bad precedent that deprives all of us of freedoms in much more horrific ways than some retard getting caught with CSAM he should not have been having in the first place.
Freedom means more than that and to argue otherwise is to argue innocent people need to be sacrificed on your political altar to make you feel like you can be safe hiding shit. You never can no matter how free your country is.
