> Nobody is claiming that companies have a "nuke from orbit" legal requirement

This entire discussion is about wiping a personal phone completely, not just company data on it.

I challenged this behaviour in my original comment. You replied to that post and said explicitly that there was nothing wrong with it, citing legal obligations to protect company data, PR risks of leaks, etc. Several other posters have made similar arguments nearby.

I replied to you and pointed out that none of these arguments require or justify giving an employer the ability to wipe an employee's personal phone entirely.

Since that time, you have in various posts accused me of not reading things before replying to them, mocked me, accused me of just wanting to argue, and generally been rude and unconstructive. You have not, however, actually defended your position in your original post that the ability to remote wipe an entire personal phone is a "completely reasonable due-diligence security mechanism" or addressed any of the three specific points I made in reply.
