> I said multiple times that I exclusively run trusted apps on the phone. I use Qubes for untrusted staff. Do you understand that threat models can vary?

By that logic, you might as well just not have the killswitch at all. Everything is magically "trusted", right?

Yes, I do understand that threat models can vary. Please give an example of a threat model where it makes more sense to use a phone which cannot protect any private calls over a functioning phone that has real protection.

If you are going to say "oh, when you never talk on the phone at all" then you might as well just remove the mic. It's not hard.

As usual, there is nothing that GrapheneOS or Micay says regarding the Librem or Pinephone that is inaccurate. You are just saying stuff that doesn't even remotely make any sense. Perhaps you are being deliberately disingenuous. Perhaps you are just so blinded by an ideology that you cannot see that what you say is just nonsense. I wouldn't know.

> I choose to dispute false information. I don't care about any personalities.

Doesn't seem to be what you are doing here.

This is completely false:

> Their microphone kill switch also doesn't prevent audio recording
