Your smartphone tracks your location, listens to your conversations, and sells your intimate moments to data brokers.
The law pretends to regulate this, but lobbyists write the rules and enforcement is a joke.
Encryption apps aren’t enough when the hardware itself is designed to betray you.
The phone is a spy device marketed as a lifestyle accessory.
We need radical technical solutions, not incremental privacy policies that change nothing.
The surveillance economy depends on your ignorance and inaction.
Break the chain: use open hardware, de-Googled Android, or build your own tools.

How much of your life are you willing to sell for a slightly more convenient map app?
Snitch on me about what exactly?
If a specific guy was following you everywhere, that wouldn’t bother you? Having a stalker wouldn’t be a big deal?
I see no reason why it’s less disturbing if it’s done by my own phone.
Nothing, you’re the one guy who literally has nothing to hide. Just let it log when you sleep shit or fuck, every word you speak, and every place you go. Who cares, am I right?
Yea you’re right, I don’t really care.
You’re also being hyperbolic and inventing things. If the point that you’re making is a good one, why do you need to create strawman to knock down. We both know that your phones doesn’t “log when you sleep shit or fuck, every word you speak,”.
I wear a Garmin watch, that thing logs way more of my personal data. Im not ignorant of how much data is collected on me. I’m just literally not that special, who the fucks cares if my watch knows how girthy my shits are.
I mean… I genuinely believe your phone (and the watch I correctly assumed you wore) log all of those things, for a start. It’s essentially free for them to do and there’s value to be extracted from that data. My earnest answer to the mocking strawman question you pose would be that you, garmin, your healthcare provider/insurance company, various advertisers, and law enforcement for a start would love to know the frequency, consistency, and volume of your shits for various reasons and that same data on a population in aggregate is even more valuable.
Anyway if you want hyperbole, informing the corpos of your turd girth is a traitorous betrayal of our species and will be punishable by death when the revolution comes. Hope you’re having a nice day lol
Because every piece of data they have on you can (and will) be used to manipulate (and hence control) you. Make you buy products you don’t want, think things you wouldn’t have thought and do things you wouldn’t have done. Are you aware of how much they control what you see, hear and read? Do you not think they would leverage this power to their advantage?
