You should be careful about making bold proclamations about the supposed insecurity of Linux or AOSP. Especially under the guise of tech-savvy lawyer. And just because you made a browser extension that doesn't trust Chrome's security model doesn't mean you're also qualified to confirm the complete and utter "owning" of the Linux kernel on ~5 year old Android devices.

Your point is well taken. Consider me suitably chastened.

Back to the question at hand - there seems to be extremely strong evidence that android - and iOS, apparently - are compromised pretty thoroughly. https://betanews.com/2017/03/07/wikileaks-vault-7-cia-year-z...

If this is not the case, then what is your conclusion? Because the claim that is being made far and wide, right now, is that android, ios and samsung smart TVs appear to be fundamentally compromised.
