For the HN 14 day record since I didn't see this yet: in genuinely critical situations, if the threat model includes a device/service being used against one's self, "the only winning move is not to play" (stop the use of the device/service!) In the same manner, if the critical concern is a device/service being used against one's self remotely, stop the use of the device/service if it is capable of remote access or data collection for later retrieval. The ultimate baseline reality is that deciding to care whether or not remote access/data retrieval is using a method supported by the device manufacturer/service provider and/or whether doing so is allowed by the current legal system is too late. Premptive HN disclaimers: I acknowledge the growing unavoidability of devices and services supporting remote access and/or data collection as I type this here on my phone. Remote access and data collection are very convenient and somehow still expected by device owners and service users to be under their control alone. It can be difficult to determine if a device or service supports remote access/data collection. There are often immediate consequences and eventual legal consequences for stopping the use of devices or services that belong to others. Working to change the legal system to slow/reduce use of devices and services against one's self and encouraging others to do the same is admirable.
