Why would you imagine that? Which non-multitasking OS do you think these devices are based on?



Thank you. One of the app states mentioned is:

  > Suspended : The app is suspended in the background.


And the next sentence says this:

> The app can be suspended for a short time

Short time, short lived, not long running.

That doesn't make it okay obviously, just means the blast radius is limited.


I disagree. All it takes is one questionable HTTP request for CP or terrorist related materials to begin an investigation. Or, heaven forbid, pirate a Metallica album.


I agree with your disagreement. Even though I’m the one you’re disagreeing with.


For example OS running on Amazon fire stick 4K kills your background processes after ~20 minutes.
