Sure, but that required a partnership with carriers for a legitimate use. I hope none of the carriers would allow use of their networks for things that don’t need it, but who knows?
You’re right. They care about our privacy and would never do anything to sully that trust. Certainly not through a partnership with an electronics manufacturer that pays them to do it…
That would require a subscription to a 5G carrier, which would be crazy expensive here.
I can’t remember which brands, but some have been found to connect to any open wifi network to do it.
They basically did the same thing several decades ago with Kindles and whispernet. It’s not really that crazy.

That’s a good expansion of what I meant by “who knows…?”
Maybe there needs to be laws in place to prevent devices that don’t need it from having 5G access. 🤷🏻♂️
