If you're important enough to the government and they wanna track you/ poison you the decoding factor of if they are able to or not isn't gonna be of you have telegram installed in your phone or not lol
We all carry around devices made in Communist China, devices with hardware that could literally be anything, hardware we don't understand whatsoever, that's updated yearly, but of we have a certain app downloaded or not that's how they're gonna catch us?
It's just silly...
This POV ignores a ton of nuance.
Primarily, the fact that the CCP cannot surveil us using the hardware alone. Installing CCP-backed apps like Telegram or TikTok is required before they can track & monitor a phone in real-time.
This is not true. Lots of hardware tracking options in phones as well. In fact, so many people own phones that you can be tracked by those close to you. You can be heard without a battery. The only safety is ABSTINENCE. Any other advice of avoiding tracking is foolishness. 1984 has been here awhile pedes.
