[kictanet] I don’t trust the CCK over this fake phone switch-off

[Gichuki John Chuksjonia]

For them to switch of a device, they must have hacked into them, and
that would be mean CCK have a very good malware and an uber zombie
network. They only thing they can do is to bar them from the networks,
not switch off.
