As Purism has been saying for years, the battleground for digital privacy has shifted squarely into our pockets in the form of smartphones. Mobile devices are now (more than ever) the prime targets for sophisticated cyber threats, having a duopoly with centralized control from two vendors; Apple and Google; the problem gets exacerbated.
