handsfree selfie i just "remotely" (from my computer the phone is leaned on) took using stalkerware*

this is part of a long ass saga of a deep dive investigation into yet another big stalkerware network, which will be up as soon as possible on my blog!

*on a test device, i am not jeopardizing either mine or anyone elses privacy for research
