Just noticed this in termux using shizuku :
rish -c ip a
68: wondertap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ieee802.11/radiotap {some MAC address}brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
i searched for wondertap0 ans found this:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common-modules/wonder/+/refs/heads/android14-6.1/wondertap.c
Which is mosltly gibberish to me.
Wonder apparently is a driver for Protocol-X which enables virtual WiFi devices ?!!!!
And i had a bit of a time finding anything else about it. Actually, i found a total of 1 thing. The source code.
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common-modules/wonder/+/refs/heads/android17-6.18
noticing it is meant to contact another device, and is acting maybe as a server and tunnel. But it isn't just a link. It creates its own 80211x device and broadcast frequency.
But, what the hell is it?
What does it do, what's it for, what triggers it, who owns the device created, and what is it sending, how is it broadcasting?
We have Freedom of Expression.
Which can be regulated, limited, or outright silenced when it comes to certain things.
Hate speech is the main limiter as far as it being regulated.
Eg Technically, it's not illegal to display a Nazi flag.
It would be illegal to do so if the intent behind it was to degrade or harass or insult etc. an ethnic or visible group.
Similar to using language.
I could say i hate all Christians.
But to promote the hate and call for acts against a group would become illegal.
Lots of grey areas.
