  • Only drive cars made before Onstar and similar systems were added in the early 90s. They have been tracking you for a long time. But even then you need a license plate, which is constantly collected in most urban areas, stored and sold. It’s really impossible to travel anywhere even if you have no phone giving away your location. Flock and all the surveillance systems also tie into the license plate data. Cars began having cell connections and other ways to broadcast data after the onstar type systems were added. Now it’s a whole other world with the amount of data cars like Tesla can collect. /OldManRant




  • Any software allowed on an appstore can be backdoored and decrypted many different ways. Even if the notification routing was turned off to prevent this, you still have a virtual keyboard that can be debugged at the system level or in one of the secure enclaves running on an iPhone. All of it is an illusion of security being sold for profit. Even the devices allowed to be sold must be backdoored many differnet ways by the state. In other words, anything that actually provided security and anonymity either from a hardware or software level would never be allowed on the market in the first place.
