Oh idk about vulnerabilities being limited to sophisticated actors like the nsa in the us or the five eyes countries that give an end run around prohibitions on spying on their own citizens purportedly leading spying in member country then sharing it back with them, even when it's cia doing all the spying and just forwarding it to the uk and back with a letterhead.

Corporate interests themselves have vulnerabilities written into everything. Palantir type companies, a bunch of super shady Israeli companies that repurposed the most malicious codes ever written, written by our intelligence agencies to target Iran and the like, (flame, others,) to spy on computers, phones, and everything connected.

But also just data brokers in general are hooked into data flows those manufacturers said they weren't taking and ineviably are caught taking anyway because who is going to stop them, and what are they going to do about it when they find out? And the answer is if some do gooder catches them and forces the authorities to act, they will just have to pay lawyers to negotiate a payoff to the government without admitting responsibility, and are mostly insulated from consumer lawsuits anyway as ToS agreements force all of their purchasers to waive their rights to sue in using those products. You are also criminally liable for changing the code on any of them, or even breaking any electronic "lock," on any of the electronics.

So if there was a vulnerability and you publicized it and a how to fix the software the feds could charge you with a serious felony. Based on some 1998 law to protect cd companies, and I think a newer law as well.

Back up what statements? That corporations spy on us and can't be trusted? And to suggest that surrendering even the capability for everything you do to be garnered by hackers in addition to just accepting the nsa and cia wil get their hands on it and run it through ai threat detection and then disseminate their half baked conclusions to agencies and business secretly in a way that will affect everything but you will never know or be able to challenge, is a threat whether you realize it or not. Social credit scores run by palantir types but not at all limited to them. Privatized social credit scoring at that, owned by the antichrist himself.
