BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.

@lauren 100% this...

Plus, a lot of companies dont provide a company phone, so do they have to use their personal one, isn't that a hell of a risk ?

@Extelec @lauren yeah unions need to push back against this (mine is). Seems like a great way to install spyware onto your employees phone.

@beaumains @lauren this is one of my concerns, it can link a personal account with a business account, or business to business. The opportunity for tracking and making connections 8s huge.

@beaumains @Extelec @lauren how about work profile for company apps? Seems like a pretty decent compromise to me. :)

@djdiskmachine @beaumains @lauren Could you just carry this tracking device around for us, and Oh, can your company use your car whilst you are at work too ?

FOC of course.

@djdiskmachine @Extelec @lauren yeah so, one of the big reasons companies want that is so they can wipe their data from your phone when they ditch you for someone cheaper.

The thing is that its my phone, I bought it. That means that I get to decide what it does, including what data remains on it. I root all my phones because I like the control. Companies want to exert more control and ownership over my device than they think that I have. This is unacceptable.
