I agree.
- phones cannot be used as weapons during a shooting
- guns don't require a monthly subscription to use bullets not approved by the manufacturer
etc
Theoretically, a phone can absolutely be used as a component of the triggering mechanism of a rigged up firearm.
Yes, there are even extant regulations around that.
The ATF will consider anything that meets the definition of a firearm rigged with an electrically actuated trigger a machine gun by default due to being readily convertible to being fully automatic.
That you don't have the creativity or will to go down these rabbit holes does not in any way mitigate their existence.
why should location require sharing data with google? why? why should i not be able to stop google location sharing and continue using location based apps?
I would say that we can have different devices for different peoples' needs; I personally want the ability to purchase a device with an absolutely locked-down state where no unauthorized or unaudited code can be ran, and currently iOS gets pretty close to that for me. But that is being taken away by laws like the EU's new sideloading law. Even if, after this is passed, I go out and make my own phone that serves my interests, I am forced to limit how many I sell if I want to keep it operational.
No one is forcing you to run any "unauthorised" code. What you suggest is that, because you don't want to side load stuff, no one should be allowed to? Doesn't make much sense to me, to be honest.
