The bigger targets would be large corporations like Amazon and Apple, as well as military institutions and contractors. It's certainly a valid concern, but it's also a pretty minor one. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I suppose you're worried about embedded spyware? permalink fedilink source parent
