Cell phones are tracking devices. Google accounts (the Play Store, YouTube, Gmail, etc.) now require a verified cell phone to open. Unless you're part of a tiny minority that resists this, you are being tracked.
Woopedy Do! This doesn't come to a shock to anybody any more. Especially when you get back home and google wants you to write a review. The outrage is purely partisan bluster.
It's actually a big deal. Why do you think it is acceptable for companies or countries to track you? Is privacy not an attribute of being and individual? Why should any company be allowed to track you?
Because you sign up for it when you use the service. Without being able to track you there's no method of providing the services that you desire when you sign up for them. If you just want a cell phone you'll still be tracked and triangulated between cell towers so that they can switch towers when you move out of range of the one you were using.
As one person put on here you can carry your cell phone in a faraday bag. Admittedly, if you want to go cheap you can also place them in a couple layers of potato chip bags.
The outrage that I see from you is that you consider it a breach of privacy. Everybody knows that if you don't want to be followed leave your phone at home. It's not like anybody is forcing you to carry the thing, and if you're on call with work it's just a situation of "Oops I forgot to carry it. Oh well." You control your privacy like you control the curtains on your house. But, like the curtains, if you have them closed you don't get the natural light into your house.
1. They don't tell you they will be tracking, recording, and selling your data unless you read a ridiculously long eula. 2. Bullshit. They do not need to track you and record you to do this. The cell towers do not need this data. Mesh networks do not require a database, except for logins and associated passwords. No storsge of events is needed. You do not need to be tracked and triangulated. At best, a comparison of signal strength is needed and the phone could handle that. 3. You have no way of knowing if your chip bags is sufficient or not. Your turned off phone can still be turned on remotely. A phone company could make a "based" phone, but everytime they do the monopoly shuts them down. If you always carry your phone and it gets turned off or left at home during a crime that unusual activity could be used against you in court, even if you are innocent. 4. The police can point a camera at your house and watch you come and go. Is that a problem? What if google wants to do it? What are you hiding? An infrared camera could watch you in your house? You're not hiding anything, google just wants to serve you better ads. 5. Rights should not be considered something we only respect when something is to be hidden. I don't want to be a product amd I shouldn't have to be actively fighing it at every turn.
But you enjoy pilpul, which is one reason you are on my jew list. You're here to discredit, divide, and subvert.
I'm here to discuss shit, just because I'm not always on your side in an argument does not mean that I'm discrediting, dividing, or subverting. I'm not a fucking jew. But, back onto the conversation at hand.
1. unless you read a ridiculously long eula This is an idiot test just like ingredients in your food. The fact the eula is longer then you're willing to read should be a dead give away that they're going to fuck you.
2. Mesh networks do not require a database, except for logins and associated passwords. Incoming calls. I remember when you'd turn on your cell phone when expecting a call because they just destroyed batteries. An incoming call would have to wait at least 30 seconds while the network attempted to locate you. This time has dramatically dropped because of databases.
3. You'll know if the bags are sufficient if you have somebody call you. If the machine goes to voicemail without ringing there you go. Remote activation of a phone is definitely possible and does occur. The fun bit is when it's activated in a background mode that doesn't bring up the user interface and keeps all lights off. Why people don't tape their cameras is beyond me. "Based Phones" HAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! None are based, they're not allowed to be by rules dropped down from on high. Usual activation is grounds for suspicion, but is not evidence. Please find for me a case where this was true as I've heard it, but it sounds like a fucking BS myth.
4. As long as none of these organizations trespass on my property yes they do have a right to do it, as do we. If you have a serious issue with it a BB gun works rather well at disabling the devises.
5. You also need to actively defend your rights. How does one maintain their right to privacy? By not inviting in spyware.
Edit because my brain is slow: I'm here to discuss shit -> I'm here to talk lol
And yet you will not throw away that cellphone, irregardless of what it does. Nothing that tinhatters like myself have told you for the last ten years, nothing that Snowden has proven to you beyond doubt, and nothing said in this post nor any other future post....will pry that pocketphone from your iron grip. No...you will bitch and moan and maybe throw a tantrum, but you and your little addiction will remain as inseparable as Linus and his security blanket evermore. You know the score, and consciously chose to ignore the price, so enjoy the spy in your pocket. Trying to save a fool from its own foolishness, annoys the fool, and wastes your time.
Why don’t you believe me? I got a two pack of phone sized faraday bags for $12. It is a drain on the battery becaus the phone wears itself out trying to get a signal.
