If I might make a simple suggestion, anyone not wanting their location or information disclosed while carrying their phone should simply place their phone in a Faraday bag. They can be purchased online for as little as $35 and they can be as small as the phone itself. Just a little bit bigger than the phone so the phone slides inside it closes and it completely cloaks your phone. Nothing in nothing out. Law enforcement use these to transport critical evidence. They will also keep your phone from being affected by an EMP. And if people do not think that an EMP is in their future then why did Elon musk start building Teslas with a Faraday cage around the electronics approximately eight months ago. But that’s a whole Nother subject.

A good hacker can still hack into the network of your phone! There is no way of hiding since most electronic devises and vehicles are tracked via satellite! The Amish are not even safe from Government and companies like Google! Guess the Gubberment didn't do a good surveillance job for the "Summer of Love" in 2020 when buildings were being burned down and people were being murdered by ANTIFA and BLM for the career criminal George Floyd!!

I would guess the Democrat governors didn’t want to prosecute their allies.

I also purchased a Faraday bag for my phone. The fabric is also available by the yard. And your microwave (if I can believe my research-physicist husband) functions as one. For when you want to have an unmonitored conversation at home.

Easy to test, place phone in microwave and try to call it. It should work but modern electronics is pretty sensitive these days so it might not.

You can believe your husband. The shielding in a microwave that prevents microwave radiation from escaping into the room is also an effective barrier to both the phone as well as the cell tower.

And who believes that any modern vehicle doesn't have total surveillance on who is inside? Who thinks that there is no Kill Switch? This is why They h8 ICE vehicles, can't turn 'em off remotely. Can't stop them 5 minutes from your 15 minute prison.

This is one of the reasons I bought and restored a 23-year old SUV for my daily driver.

or you can opt to be free from harassment and not get a phone, keep your land line and answering machine.

This is interesting and alarming in light of what happened to me just yesterday. My android Samsung phone discontinued its default texting app, saying the Google texting app they want me to use 'provides a similar experience.' I went to the Verizon store to ask if this was my only option or if there were any other options, and they said no, and that Google and android/Samsung had made a deal to force all their users to switch to Google messages. The Verizon employee said it doesn't matter what carrier you have, if you have an android Samsung phone, you are forced to use the Google texting app.

So today, when I tried to read a text, it wouldn't let me read it. It blocks it and gives this message:

ALLOW [GOOGLE] MESSAGES TO ACCESS PHOTOS, MEDIA, AND FILES ON YOUR DEVICE?

Deny/Allow

If you click Deny, it won't allow me to read the text I received and keeps showing the message above.

This is forced permission to access and surveil all photos, media and files on my phone, in addition to the location and other surveillance discussed in your post.

I know we're all being surveilled 24/7 on any mainstream device, regardless of this particular app, and this experience is a stark reminder.

Ditto here ... was slammed into Google Messages two weeks ago.

Thanks, Verizon.

Update:

To your point, Roger, Verizon should know that their customers are very unhappy about this. Customers ought to do what I did today, when I returned to the Verizon store to voice my opposition to this forced surveillance and invasion of privacy, and to say that Verizon is a big company and they should resist this on behalf of their customers. I said that even though the deal was between android/Samsung and Google, Verizon is a huge company that should stand up for their customers and for privacy. I was encouraged to express my concern on the company site. (I also told them about Above Phone, because the employees I spoke with share these same concerns about privacy and surveillance.) To make a difference, large numbers of customers, of any carrier subject to this, whether Verizon or whoever, need to speak up ASAP. And also to Samsung. If they don't get any pushback, they will have no incentive to oppose this. I realize it may seem like a lost cause, until and unless we clean up the corruption of the govt and big tech, which I believe will come if Trump is elected and leverages the expertise of RFK, Gabbard, etc., to clean house. If that doesn't happen, it's anyone's guess how long it will be for this to happen. In any case, we have to speak up.

Thank you for taking action. I'm going to speak via my wallet ... my android will be paid off in three months, and then I will buy a de-googled phone.

Google has outrsourced its mass surveilance to Israel Unit 8200

https://fritzfreud.substack.com/p/israels-unit-8200-alumina-and-the

Ori Cohen & Stas Khirman

If you've been keeping track of American Internet and the battles over surfer privacy, then you have run into the name Narus, which specializes in tapping surfer traffic. It was founded in 1997 by Dr Ori Cohen, Stas Khirman and four other guys in Israel all of them Unit 8200.

For years Narus sailed on untroubled. But today it's become associated with the likes of Carnivore or Echelon, the notorious software programs that have become linked with spying on email and delivering data on surfers to government agencies.

Since 2013 Ori Cohen & Stas Khirman are CEO of Deutsche Telekom.

During this time as CEO of Deutsche Telekom Ori Cohen and Narus who were one of the first companies coming out of Unit 8200 implemented Unit 8200 completely into Deutsche Telekom.

They hate Germany and Germans and they like to use Germany and Germans and German companies to shift the blame upon Germany in any way they can.

Then ther is STARLINK

What I am talking about is Elon Musk and Starlink.

Starlink is 44.000 satellites that provide a 5G Network from above that is not just capable of delivering 5G to every corner of this world.

As with every technology there are undocumented capabilities within this technology they do not want the public to know.

One of the capabilities of this Starlink Network is to send Information on the Frequency called " Schumann Resonance" which is roughly 8Hz and is the same Frequency that your Brain uses to operate.

What that means is simple: Mind control.

Starlink is a weapon.

It is a global Mind control system.

It also doubles as an AI Infrastructure for autonomous warfare.

And by Autonomous warfare I mean Tesla Robots... used to be called Boston Dynamics.

What they are building is simple: a machine... a gigantic machine designed to fight you and me...

A Global Genocide Holocaust Machine.

Here's the thing nobody seems able to do.

Minimize your time on phones, computers, and screens in general.

Done bring your phone with you everywhere. Don't even have it on you most of the time.

The spying isn't nearly as bad as all the other shit all this tech is doing FOR YOUR HEALTH.

In OH, SO MANY ways...

Thank goodness a simple issue as 'forgetting' has helped me...

- Forgot a phone at early adoption years, the replacement cost was painful at the time...

Rarely does one take the cell unless demanded by the venue...

Remember folks its a TOOL...

Not the toy...

But ya'll seem to take them in bed with you...

That smartphone is just like wearing an ankle monitor.

It will end up being a boot on your neck.

Either toss it or keep it in a Faraday pouch.

"2000 mules" proved that it was 4g etc. Mobile phone masts that were able to triangulate the positions of phones within a few meters, it didn't matter if you were online, or had a smartphone.

A Faraday bag effectively converts your phone into a brick ... you cannot make nor receive calls, nor browse the web, nor exchange text messages while your phone is in the Faraday bag. Since location "pings" are near-continuous and take microseconds to transfer information, the moment you take your phone out of the bag, the jig is up.

The de-Googled phone is a good alternative ... but the ultimate bargain-basement choice for privacy is a burner flip phone., the cheaper the better.

So what you're saying is....they know who participated in the riots of the summer of 2020, and the molotov-cocktail-throwers and rioters at the White House, and potentially whom coordinated the riots, etc, but they are just refusing to go after them?? I thought they said it was too dark to see their faces at night and so therefore they didn't know who to go after?? Yeah we already suspected it was all BS but now we know for sure! If you're part of the opposition, it's gulag for you!

Cherylaiko, how clever you are to see this (duh, I didn't). AND this implies that that info is still available. Now how could it be used to further the work of Lady Justice?

Thank you for offering this , Vigilant, as I suspect that most have not been aware of this situation. This may explain why T-Mobile told its customers in 2021 that our phones would no longer be acceptable with the 5G roll-out--even though the new system accepted 4G. And that T-Mobile was going to replace my phone at no cost to me! I put off acting on that exchange, as it seemed distasteful and--questionable (what kind of business model is this? Doesn't Apple work hard to con you into upgrading to the next iPhone regularly?) until nearly the last minute. I have pondered this matter, thought it likely that T-M was getting (forcing?) some kind of surveillance software into the hands of all customers. Fortunately for me, within about six months I lost that new phone (which I very much disliked) when out of the country. Postponed acting on a replacement, once again. Until I was providentially (probably literally) put in touch with a source of a De-Googled phone (Mark 37, see Truth in Love Substack). And have purchased a Linux laptop from same company for same reason. I have to admit that I am very wary of downloading any apps onto my phone lest I be putting myself right back where I was.

Another no-questions-asked surveillance and anti-privacy company. The goog is collecting mountains of info on you as are microsoft, fraudbook and apple. For what purpose? To improve their marketing metrics? Guess again. That info WILL be used in the future to control you using digital money accounts and social credit scores.

Switch to Linux computers and a de-googled phone, at least.
