So they're embracing spyware.

As long as I can desolder the Starlink transceiver, sure.

May be time for a switch. My work phone is apple. I will go to a flip phone.

Hard pass

This is way too much! He’s already a huge security risk and this is a big conflict of interest!

epbwrisci.bsky.social•92 days ago

How do we opt out?

ronpluth.bsky.social•92 days ago

Im starting to run out of shit to quit.

parisdog.bsky.social•92 days ago

Starlink should be a utility

readingrenee.bsky.social•92 days ago

*^Public utility

samula22.bsky.social•92 days ago

starlink should be fucking abolished and sent to the sun. We let a literal real life Nazi cartoon villain surround our planet with communication devices and we for some reason think it’s anything less than a weapon? Insane.

Tell Apple we don't want it!

Done!

jon639.bsky.social•92 days ago

NOPE, never using it....

vegavannah.bsky.social•92 days ago

Godfuckingdamnit I don’t want that shit on my phone.

vegavannah.bsky.social•92 days ago

If we don’t do the update, can we avoid it and maybe there will be enough uproar it doesn’t go farther? Or is this it and we’re all going to have to continue to deep throat Trump and Elon for the rest of their miserable lives??

If you don’t update you could miss an important security update.

iwillhandlethis.bsky.social•92 days ago

Not secretly enough

yasmeena.bsky.social•91 days ago

That would be amazing!

chellebelle583.bsky.social•92 days ago

I don’t want anything to do with Musk products so I’m guessing I’ll have to switch to Android

jlonganecker.bsky.social•92 days ago

Fuck everything about this.

benderatl.bsky.social•92 days ago

FML… can I not escape the grasp of the oligarchy? 😔

noonanrubick.bsky.social•92 days ago

WTF

To this day, around 15-20 iPhones, 6-8 iPads, 2 laptops have entered the walls of our house throughout the years for our family need. This news might just be where this ends it all and a switch to a new brand. Every business link with @ElonMusk must stop.
