Curious if someone in an abusive relationship could use this trick if their phone was being monitored. If the abuser was just monitoring them with the phone's parental controls this would work but if there was an app probably not?
the was a news here on lemmy where someone got in prison because the local county has put some malware in the phone. It logged a single request to Pornhub, so the guy bail was revoked
Not his phone. There are circumstances where that would be defensible.
They put their malware on his wife and kids' phones.
Extremely fucked up.
Unfortunately, it's hard to discover this trick on its own, unless you're already clever enough to find other ways around it.
