What exactly is accurate? Have you seen my reply to that? Hardware kill switches cut power and prevent any recording.

Their entire post regarding pinephones is accurate.

Hardware kill switches need to be correctly implemented. A kill switch cutting off mics and not sensors or speakers is incomplete and privacy theater.

Not to mention kill switches assume the device is already compromised, at which point everything on it is likely compromised as well.

		> Their entire post regarding pinephones is accurate. I never mentioned Pinephones, although I do believe that the attack on them is still too harsh. Their security is about as good as the one for Linux. And it's not exactly "atrocious". Especially if you only use software from the official repositories. Let's agree that it should be improved though. (I prefer Qubes OS myself.) > Hardware kill switches need to be correctly implemented. Are you saying they aren't for Librem 5? > A kill switch cutting off mics and not sensors or speakers is incomplete and privacy theater. I explained in the link above that cutting all sensors is exactly what happens if you choose it. > Not to mention kill switches assume the device is already compromised This is not accurate. Kill switches imply that even if the device is compromised (which you can never 100% verify, even on GrapheneOS), your location etc is still private, when you need it.
