🚫⌨️📶 Remove keyboard network permissions in general. Getting GIFs from the internet via the keyboard is a tradeoff worth sacrificing imo. Keyboard apps shouldn't be allowed to connect to anything. Otherwise you can bet everything you type is being gathered in one form or another

How would you do this on Android using default Samsung keyboard?
After checking the default samsung keyboard app I couldnt see any settings for network permissions. Google Keyboard does but I uninstalled that.
I use a degoogled phone. CalyxOS and Graphene both have granular controls built in to the Firewall that make it easy to block apps from connecting to the internet. When I was on regular Android I heard Snowden recommend NetGuard, which I still use on an old phone. It works very well. There was a website that had all the apps he recommended but I can't remember what it was..
