I don’t know why you want to downplay this issue. Google should be held accountable for this. It affects multiple users over multiple models and has caused real world harm.
I’d be saying the same thing. Apple sells tens of millions of phones per year and in this hypothetical scenario a double digit number of Reddit users couldn’t call 911.
This is obviously a big recurring issue which is statistically significant given the number of times that a user might call emergency services in their entire lifetime.
If the reason you want to dismiss it is because you have a pixel then you don’t have to convince me that it’s safe - you need to convince yourself.
Imagine it was Apple. Now apply the same outrage.
