    The article does not mention, how will this be achieved technology wise? I don’t know of any universal way that a government might activate these features on a person’s phone. Unless network operators/phone manufacturers start installing backdoors. This does not bode well.

      I’m wondering the same. Hopefully privacy oriented projects such as GrapheneOS can counter whatever technology they will try to implement.

        Patriot act requires them to do so. I am gonna guess they probably will unless they want to go to federal prison.

          You’re right. I hadn’t even checked where GrapheneOS was based, that’s bad.
