I have two observations to make here. 1. It seems that most of the evil here is concentrated among the liberal right and liberal left. Both far right AfD types and the left are against this. 2. A lot of positions, when clarified, just want

They can clone NFC tags, if the phone hardware, drivers and software permits. It really depends on how smart the chip inside the smartphone is and how locked down its drivers are. I still keep around a Galaxy S3 because its reader does not

OpenBSD exposes pledge() and unveil(), which allow programs to only access things they declare they need. So, even if the running SSH process gets exploited, it can't do anything the user it's running as can't do. sshd afaik
