Uhm, I don't care about the device or the SIM card?... I care about my data, and I care about remotely wiping the device before they can try access the device if they are even trying to access it in the first place?
Sure they can turn it off, but if I activate the command to wipe the device the command will execute as soon as the device is powered on.
This is not the case if they remove the SIM. If they remove the SIM the connect is lost and the device can remain on and be tampered with, with my data still entact.
I don't "keep asking for proof" I literally asked in one comment? You seem very angry about people asking questions online, maybe you should do some introspection or something idk
This is unfortunately how a lot of online privacy communities feel. Like it's mostly performative privacy fan service. Often with a weird martyrdom thread running through it, almost as if people are mixing up the ideas of privacy, with simple rebellion against modern technology.
I can't speak to any particular communities, but to me it's about putting extra steps between me/my data/whatever and thieves. (I have a personal tinge of rebellion against social media and perma connectedness but I generally see them as separate)
If my password is "password" anyone can and will pop it
If my password is "P@$sw0Rd60&4" alot of people could and probably would
If my password is ^ and I use 2FA, sure that can be spoofed but the number of able hackers is much lower and it's much more work, quite frankly I'm just not that interesting 😂
Etc etc, adjusted for situation
