Putin is a peeping tom

While the real peeper is Google. On my not-very-secure phone I have the Graphene and sandboxed+uninitialized Google Play Services setup (needed for Signal video calling compatibility) but without logging in. It just sits there and runs the background service.

The amount of shit it tries to do is insane. It polls and monitors networks (cellular.) You turn on Wifi or Bluetooth it starts polling that too. It tries to connect to gtalk. It tries to download fonts. And this is without ever opening it or logging in to Google. And after actually going into the sandbox configuration and turning everything off that can be turned off.

MJ had the right feeling... just 30 years early to the game.
