You don't need silver or exotic metals. copper, aluminum, or stainless mesh of a gauge small enough to block GSM frequencies. Several layers of copper or aluminum foil would probably be easier.
That’s a new phone. I don’t think I would trust that it isn’t set up to spy to the max that the hardware will allow. I guess my point is I would bet it still tracks your location and aggregates that data into some sort of database/profile about you.
“A Linux phone, with privacy and open source at the forefront of the design. There are hardware kill switches for the camera, microphone, WiFi/Bluetooth, and baseband on the side of the phone, ensuring none of the I/O turns on unless you want it to. The OS is the Free Software Foundation endorsed by PureOS, a Linux distribution that, in this case, has been reworked with a mobile UI...
This phone really runs full desktop-class Linux. Those same videos show the dev kit running things like the APT package manager through a terminal, a desktop version of Solitaire, Emacs, the Gnome disk utility, DOSBox, Apache Web Server, and more. If it runs on your desktop Linux computer, it will probably run on the Librem 5, albeit with a possibly not-touch-friendly UI. The Librem 5 can even be hooked up to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and you can run all these Linux apps with the normal input tools.”
This is the answer. When you're not using the phone, toss it in the bag.
Or better yet: get rid of your smartphone all together. It is becoming quite obvious that Big Brother relies on you adopting technology to make their surveillance possible.
I'm buying a rather dumb phone when my contract is up. I'll still toss it in a Faraday Bag when it is not in use.
I can't believe we have all agreed to bug our own houses. I've really been meaning to downgrade to the most basic phone possible. Only thing stopping me is my own lack of initiative. Time to man up.
You're right to be skeptical. Back in the 00's the FBI reflashed the mobs phones remotely, turning them into always-on listening devices, even when they were supposedly in off mode.
I don't even trust most consumer electronics these days. Went to go buy my old man a webcam for his birthday and every one available is from some no name chink brand you've never heard of. I wouldn't trust any of them to not be opening their own VPN to God knows where until I install them on an isolated node and sniff for any outward routed traffic.
Well if you buy any battery unremovable phone make sure it has water resistance. Always carry In a faraday cage. Shit you could also put it in a charging sound box for home.
I installed smart lights, paired my fireTV stick to my alexa thermostat, got a car version of Alexa, and now have to learn sign language to complain about the government so they can't hear me.
My girlfriend asked why I carry a gun around the house.
I looked her dead in the eye and said, "the motherfucking decepticons". She laughed, I laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot the toaster, it was a good time.
Not with my phone. Yes it's powered by the phone company's -48VDC, but when the receiver is on the hook it's physically disconnected from the line. No way to monitor from that, unless someone broke into my house and messed with the wiring.
Librem 5 has 3 separate physical disconnect switches for the cameras/mic, the wifi, and the cellular receiver/transmitter/gps
Pre-order/waiting list is $750
If you want one where all the electronics are sourced from the US (which is awesome) they have an option for sale at $2k (yikes, but I'm glad it exists anyways)
Their competitor, PinePhone is going the opposite route with their kill switch option at $150 and you can get it now. The switches aren't as well placed, and the OS isn't as far along as with the Librem, but the price point is damn accessible.
Literally every other phone is a microsoft/google/apple spybox so honestly, everyone who cares about privacy and liberty should be grabbing one or the other. Yes they are linux phones, no neither OS is polished or complete... but do you want a functional phone with kill switches NOW or do you want to wait on kill switches until the OS is at the same polish as your current CIA pocket wiretap?
This horseshit with restaurants going 100% "Digital Menu Only" needs to fucking stop.
And the also now common "Oopsie, here's a plastic cup because we suddenly don't have glasses anymore!" (They Do) "Oh yeah, and we also don't have tap water anymore!" (They Do)
These are coming from the same people who are saying the ocean is full of plastic. Let us use our reusable glasses in peace! You use it, you clean it, you use it again.
I agree. Samsung too. Of course there is some money in that. But that's not the whole story, IMO. There is too much money and power in the ability to be able to track your location and listen in at all times.
Like I told other people, test your theory. Turn off your phone for 24 hours, then turn it back on and see if the battery died.
For your control you can leave the phone on on do not disturb and don’t use it for 24 hours
The point is that there would be a built in reserve that doesn't show on your battery life indicator. That way even if your phone "dies", they're still getting your data. At which point you hurry to a charger before the reserve dries up.
It’s a pretty crazy conspiracy theory to say it’s to keep your phone on secretly even when off. You need evidence. I have evidence it’s wrong. Your battery holds its charge very well while off.
No power is needed to achieve this. Chips can be installed that listen, collect and send data (type in any variation of "chips, spy, no power," into your favorite search engine, add "China" for additional interesting results). Further, have you ever considered how landline telephones are able to operate without any power whatsoever? There are a number of ways a cell phone, or any electrical device, can be used to spy on you and/or collect and send data, most requiring little or no power/electricity at all, or connection to wifi or anything else. Its capabilities increase significantly when it does use even the most minuscule amount of power (like, might drain 1 or 2% of your battery, when powered off, over a span of weeks or months. A kindle reader, for instance, can remain on, while displaying advertisements, and it still takes months for it to drain)
I think you're right on this. Apple, for all their arrogance, thinks profit first and state-sanctioned surveillance second. Not to say the interests don't dovetail nicely (for them; it's a shit-sandwich for us), but whatever the outcome, they did it first and foremost as part of their No-Repair-Plus-Planned-Obsolescence portfolio planning that came to light years ago but was quietly squashed and unreported after a few lawsuit settlements.
If you get searched by the police and they find a turned-off phone they will most likely arrest you for endangering the public. Or they will fine you thousands of dollars.
Settings, search for Running Services, choose Running Services, go to Google Play Services, choose "Stop" for "ExposureMatchingService".
Should (usually does) kill it until either you restart your phone or Google runs an update.
You may need to activate the "Developer" capability option special menu on your phone to do the above. If so,...
Before you can enable Developer options on your Android phone or tablet, you'll first need to find your phone's build number. On most phones, you can simply type build number into the search field. Or it often is something like: Settings > System > About phone > Build number
Once you’ve found the screen with your Build number, you'll need to tap on it seven seven times. That's right: seven times. After a few taps, you'll see a small pop-up alert telling you that "You are now X steps away from being a developer" with a number that counts down with every additional tap. Once you have this, you have access to a few Android menus and stuff that are normally hidden.
If you ever want to undo the extra level of access, just (in the Developer Options menu) unclick (oh the top in highlight) "On". You will likely never want to do this, but...
WHEN IT IS ON (I.E. IF YOU RESTART YOUR PHONE AFTER KILLING IT OR GOOGLE DOES AN UPDATE), ExpsoureMatchingService is not limited to regular bluetooth (toggling that off in regular settings will not F with it). But... In Android regular settings for blutooth, you have a location submenu named "improve accuracy", "even when Bluetooth is disabled". There you can switch on or off Wifi scanning and bluetooth scanning. It needs to be ON for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) (not your "normal" Bluetooth you use for earbuds, etc.) to snitch on you when you have your normal Bluetooth toggle set for off. So, turn off the "improve accuracy" bullshit.
Note: ExposureMatchingService currently needs a second app to snitch on you, but who knows if that is fully true. I kill it and also turn off the tracking "even when Bluetooth is disabled" so I have backup protection if my main Bluetooth is set for off on any given minute.
In addition, and not specific to the above...if ever needed or desired...
There are some apps in the Play Store which spoof your location and trick other apps, including Google Maps, into thinking you're in a different place. Several let you easy simulate your randomly walking at a speed you specify, in any general (you choose size) area box you choose. Say the "Fake GPS Location" app by Lexa. Yes, that app (a touch tricky to use the first time) also has a "Spoof Wi-Fi Provider" (Google normally looks at fixed wifi signals near your location to triangulate you, even if not connected via wifi) option for spoofing smarter apps. And allows easy toggle on and off, plus multiple saved locations.
But yes, if they want to, they can track where you were by cell tower reception.
However, to enable their functionality, you must first unlock Developer options.
Under the option "Select mock location app," choose the app that has location spoofing abilities. Once selected, you will now be able to use the app to change location, whether that in the town next door or another country.
Say, to report that you are in your house (when elsewhere). Yes, you can "see" yourself (your location) moving along a road in beautiful North Korea or Somalia.
It will be included on new phones just like Bixby. Thats the trial run. People deal with Bixby and even a button dedicated to Bixby and its annoying. And its on a device they PAY $1000 FOR.
NYPD will just carry out random stop and searches. They find a smartphone they will ask you do you have the app. After that, it will depend on how much a good lair you are.
If you don't pattern lock your phone they might even just look. If you are found not to have it. Either arrest you for endangering the public or fine you thousands of dollars.
This is New York we are talking about so dont say that would never happen. Its a socialist state in all but name at this point.
This must be stopped immediately. This is the house arrest without trial. We can't let this happen. It's time. If you were waiting for something, this is it.
Went to middle school in east ridge there in Chattanooga. Love my home state like nothing else but some of the city areas can definitely be rough. Small town living and country living are fantastic in TN though.
It will be stopped by people not downloading the app and using it. This won't happen though. There are enough people out there that will download this app and use it that it will be presented as a success, then pushed out to other markets. Then it will be pushed further, along with other similar or related technologies. Then corporations will start requiring it for employees. Then it will spread more and become common place.
We have this in Canada (15 minutes of "close contact"), and only about 10% of the population has downloaded that app - though only 5 provinces have it implemented so far. I won't download it, so there's that. It's not mandatory, yet, thankfully. It also doesn't track location but something to do with blue tooth connectivity or something - or some encrypted system. I still don't trust it and never will.
With companies I think they can only mandate it, IF the cell phone is their's to begin with and not a personal phone. Though having a work phone and a personal phone would kinda defeat the purpose of the system they want anyways XD
10% adoption in under a year is astronomical. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. They would've been lucky to get to .001% before Christians start holding full doomsday meetings about the mark of the beast, let alone any other push-back.
Too bad the church is run by white women. Karen's and their weaponized compassion are the number one reason this has taken off so quickly.
It's Canada to be fair. Most of us like taking government cock up our butthole, maybe a taser too. I honestly say 'only 10%' because I expected it to be much higher.
It’s so fucking creepy seeing people wear masks all the fucking time. I actually don’t mind wearing one in some situations, like going to the grocery store. It’s their store, and it’s not hard. Don’t think it’ll help, but they own the place. Outside though? Fucking outside? On the sidewalk? When nobody is around for 20-50’? I’ve had Karen types come up to me from 50’ away yelling at me for not having a mask on. I immediately pull it out and say I have a mask for when I need it, but no one being around for 50’ means I do not need it.
Thankfully, even in the Bay, I’ve gotten by without wearing a mask much for the duration of the lockdown we’re still in. I just avoid people. Not hard when everyone’s pretending the apocalypse happened. Cops in my area are mostly based too. They’ll have them hanging from their uniform but only wear them if needed, which is basically never.
We’ve got plenty of that. I’ve even had people proud of it. They were driving and had a mask on while alone in their own car and I was on the side walk all alone walking with my dog. They rolled down their window and stopped and yelled at me for not having a mask.
To them, having a mask on in the car all alone was an act of virtue. To me, it was an act of mental derangement. Keep in mind I was the only person out on the entire block and was near my home.
A lot of women who get abortions claim they got pregnant by accident. They almost describe it like they were chilling with their man and suddenly both their pants flew off all by themselves and then their groins became supermagnets with opposite attractions and they weren't able to stop from colliding into each other.
Maybe if men wore condoms all the time there wouldn't be nearly as many abortions.
Stores I roll my eyes and do it. But if I'm using a disposable mask, I make a point to pull it off in front of everyone the exact moment I leave the store.
It's total bullshit. Yeah they own the place and yeah I don't mind because I would prefer people around me be comfortable / not scare any elderly who are scared for actually legitimate reasons but this is for short sprints of time.
Biden wants us to wear a mask everywhere in his Islamic vision, including outside on the sidewalk
I laughed reading people criticizing his family for not wearing masks in there. They’d all been tested before being allowed in there. Nobody in that room had the virus. It’s not like fucking Trump or Biden or Chris wore masks. Biden’s wife wearing one was hilarious. “Bitch, you’re going to take it right off when you’re with Joe once you leave.”
Anyone who says they don’t like him is either a pussy, a shill, or some of my friends think he’s controlled opposition and that he’s actually deep state.
As someone who heard far more about Tim's Adventure To Redpill Land than actually watched his real content, but then finally subbed to Timcast just to see what he's up to these days, I'm actually somewhat shocked at how conservative he's become. No way he's opposition.
As sophisticated as the globalist propaganda network is (and mind you, it's coordinated, but loosely rather than monolithically, via the ownership cadre of the US major media properties, BBC administrators, and many, many more), I don't think they're so sophisticated as to wrangle someone like AJ. His outlandish approach, rather, can often serve the left's purpose by seeming to undercut his own arguments, but it's almost certainly coincidental, not planned.
I'd point to someone who says blandly-correct things yet accomplishes nothing, like Hannity, far quicker than I'd point to AJ. In fact, I don't actually point at Hannity (I think he's more an vain opportunist, like Beck but much smarter in knowing where his bread is buttered), mainly because he has great guests (John Solomon, Sara Carter, etc.) and gives them a platform, but you get my drift.
Call me a pussy or shill or whatever makes your asshole tingle, but even though I agree with some of what Alex Jones has to say, his "wild man who has GOTTA GET REALLY LOUD AND SCREAM LIKE A FUCKING LUNATIC" shtick is absolutely fucking ridiculous and I don't like listening to the guy because of it. I don't think he's "crazy" or that he's completely wrong, and I know the guy isn't always going off like that, but it just comes off as a fucking stupid gimmick for a grown ass man.
Wait until the social credit score comes. Everything the left does is a trial. 2017 was a trial run for 2020. CA long been a "trial run" for the rest of America.
We aren’t Republicans. Both parties are corrupt to the core. Every institution must be rebuilt in Critical MAGA theory, hopefully with no loss of life. I’d suggest even starting our own MAGA currency so when the country splits we can get other country’s to use our currency. DJT on the $1 bill, perhaps Tucker on the $20?
Fuck the turtle he’s ready to betray Trump at any moment. I can dig Trump on the $100 though. I got this idea seeing China is running out of US dollars. So imagine if we had our own currency with a hard ban on doing business with the CCP. Would crash them even more. And any new alliances would have to convert to MAGAcoin over the $USD
Kinda the problem. Everyone wants to wait for someone else to lead. The left is able to create hundreds of violent and radical calls to action because no one bats an eye.
But conservatives start to muster and they get the "white supremacist militia group!" socially taboo label, and the country still cares too much about falsely being labeled racist.
Too bad they've failed SO FAR. Important to note, they're not going to stop trying. Just wait for the next school shooting when they're in power again. I don't care how many justices Trump puts in, the Supreme Court has failed time after time to protect our gun rights
One scenario that plays in my head is something like Melbourne happens here, like when the lady got arrested in her house, or even the person getting arrested for maybe not wearing a mask in Ohio, but the COVAX enforcer gets 2A'd because America.
This is then used as a Port Arthur event to attempt to disarm the population.
My middle school told us that they'd be checking our myspace pages(yes I'm showing my age) to see if we posted anything they disagreed with or anything deemed inappropriate.
Never explained what this ment but even back then the idea of them invading our lives like that freaked me out.
It's voluntary until not enough people download it. Dont worry they will say not enough people have downloaded. Then it will be made law to have it. The COVID cult will shame other people to download because it might kill their granny if you don't.
I started turning off my Bluetooth and GPS months ago because of this. From optional, to mandatory, to its now built into the phone without telling you and now it's retroactive. We know where you've been.
Politicization of this virus is yet another symptom of the left and their propaganda arm's wanton disregard for the Constitutional rights of citizens in a bid to win the election no matter how many have to die or be unpersoned or lose their livelihoods.
Still love both of them, and they're allowed to have their own opinions. But I really hate when celebrities use their platform to try and alienate their fans
You can completely remove the Covid 19 API (exposure notification update) by uninstalling Google Play Services Updates, then disable Play Store altogether.
When you need an app, find the APK online and install it the manual way.
I left two fish stores today because I was accosted at both by rude employees demanding mask compliance. At the first one, I put the damn thing on only to be immediately approached again and criticized because it didn't cover my nose how they wanted. Drove 30 minutes across town to another store, walked in, and the owner immediately says "mask?" Turned around and walked out.
This is in Ohio. Our governor is supposed to be GOP but he's just a cuck. What's truly pathetic is how the mask thing is being driven as a wedge between people. I love aquariums, I'm sure I would've gotten along smashingly with all those people, but instead everyone leaves the interaction sour because of the fucking masks that don't even WORK.
No the only reason the mask thing is working is because it’s a medical issue. I use the term “issue” very generously. Even my father, who’s as based as they come, will call me on the phone and complain about people not wearing masks in the store. He is full MAGA all the way, but he doesn’t see it the way we do. Most Republicans are like my father.
But as soon as the globalists try to implement communism in a non-medical way, I guarantee you they will be thwarted.
But as soon as the globalists try to implement communism in a non-medical way, I guarantee you they will be thwarted.
Yeah, but that's exactly why they're implementing communism in the medical way. This mask thing isn't a fluke. It's a prelude.
Vaccines become mandatory. Taxes are raised to cover all the additional medical infrastructure and tracking. Small businesses go out of business because they can't afford to comply with the health standard. Large corporations take over all commerce, and they will be controlled by government mandates and elite private interests. Etc.
Guess who the Harvard School of Public Health is named after? A Chinese national businessman. It's called the T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Guess who founded that same school in 1921 making it the first public health institution in the US? The Rockefeller Foundation.
Medical authority is the backdoor to power, because if you threaten someone's health, they get scared and stop thinking. Non-thinking people are just animals. Animals are easily controlled.
Not when an entire generation is raised in that kind of environment and they're not able to perceive any difference as the medical excuse is gradually and silently dropped.
You would be surprised. It comes from people that can do their jobs from home. So they want everyone else locked up and only let people that drive vans out and about. Then they can deliver their Amazon packages to them.
The whole "just sitting in your house and order off Amazon" has been a thing for years. People LOVED the first lockdown.
These are the people that turned into the COVID cult.
I do this in Kentucky all the time. Not supposed to, but fuck Andy Beshear. That shit-dicked faggot can't tell me what to do.
spez: damn I love being able to use the language necessary to express my feelings for my governor and not get banned. Twitter is a fun way to fight on the front lines, but man is it annoying having to tip-toe around those cucks.
You guys in TN rock. I got to visit quite a few places in TN back in July, and along with KY, you guys are patriotic as all hell in not following the Branch Covidians directives.
They've had this in countries like the UK for around 2 months. Hundreds of thousands have signed up.
COVID scaremongering has turned millions of people that would have been against things like this into a COVID cult. People that want governments to lock them up.
imagine being a internet/cellular tech enthusiast after 2007. They are about the dumbest people out there. Its the designers, coders, software engineers who are the low-fi ones because they know the inner workings.
We have an app just like this in Australia called COVID safe, In the first few days after launch There was a huge Privacy breech uncovered. The useful idiots love the app but the vast majority of normies have to little trust in the government to ever use it. The Australian government has shown us time and time again they can't be trusted with stuff like this
They really are, We have a literal Communist Leading Victoria's State parliament, he's so far up the CCPs ass that it's actually terrifying. Funny enough Victoria is also the state to be hit hardest by the Chinese Communist virus. Almost as if China is the one pulling the strings
Ohh I know how deep it goes, Unfortunately Australians don't because most are uninformed Dumb fucks who vote (Voting is compulsory) for the same shit hoping for a different outcome because "She'll be right mate" Its honestly The most infuriating thing
American government can't be trusted either, but this is still probably going to be enthusiastically embraced by an alarming portion of the population.
Your phone keeps track of what character strings it has chirped out, when you flag yourself as infected these strings are flagged and compared to what other phones have heard. If other phones have heard these strings a notification is sent to those phones saying they've been in proximity to someone infected, no names or contact info necessary.
Yeah, first you install an app on your phone, then, so many people forget to bring their phones with them, so you get chipped, you know, for EvERyOnES sAFeTy.
Also, to the first person to bring up the slippery slope: your Mom's a hoe.
It's chirping out random characters, it is not making a connection to anything. You're as connected to each other as you are to a radio antenna or a guy yelling in the town square.
That's just the API. It still needs one of the state provided apps to be fully functional. Without the corresponding app, the API built into Android and iOS does nothing.
When a user tests positive, the health department can use app data to contact other users they've been in close proximity with
Cuomo assured that privacy will be protected because the app doesn't use names or collect personal data
Uh...wut? How can the health department use app data to contact users who've been in close proximity with infected patients if the app doesn't have access to personally identifying information?
The app came as New York recorded an alarmingly high positivity rate of 1.52%
HO-LEE-SHIT GUYS! A positivity rate of ONE POINT FIFTY-TWO PERCENT! That's absolutely worth descending into a 1984-esque authoritarian surveillance state.
Break up big tech Trump then everyone will see the uncensored social media denouncing this bullshit. People have to see our numbers online than their sheep brain won't just constantly eat up leftist garbage.
Just as a heads up, Apple has been pushing updates against user knowledge for years. If you put off an update long enough, the phone/computer/whatever will update on its own in the background without asking permission. It's part of what ensured the updates to older phones got pushed through to mess up the battery life and force owners to upgrade to a new device.
We've got this contact tracing shit in Australia, it doesn't work unless everyone opts in. Just don't get the app and encourage others to not opt in.
In Australia they have a full on barrage of media about the "covid safe app" their pushing it hard. It won't stop you getting sick, it won't stop the spread of the virus. Its just another mechanism of control.
This is a trial run to see how many sign up and is voluntary for now but just wait and see if the envelope isn't pushed.
"phone? what phone? Oh, I left that at home..."
It only gets more creative from there.
Just turn off the phone
Still broadcasts and listening
You mean wipe like with a cloth?
Acid wash that thing.
Drinking bleach kills covid. Acid wipes phones.
Feed it to NoName’s daughter.
At this point, what difference, does it make?
Wipe it with pallets of cash.
With bleach
Don’t know enough about cell phone capabilities to know if this is a joke or would actually work
Depends on how big the holes are, if any.
You don't need silver or exotic metals. copper, aluminum, or stainless mesh of a gauge small enough to block GSM frequencies. Several layers of copper or aluminum foil would probably be easier.
A fiery but mostly peaceful wiping
How about acid?
Invest in a Faraday Bag
That’s a new phone. I don’t think I would trust that it isn’t set up to spy to the max that the hardware will allow. I guess my point is I would bet it still tracks your location and aggregates that data into some sort of database/profile about you.
Duck yeah, Snake!!!
An open source smartphone...

Can you play drug wars on it ?
Dollar Store has tinfoil for the poor. Works just as good.
Better than buying it from Alexa at amazon.com
This is the answer. When you're not using the phone, toss it in the bag.
Or better yet: get rid of your smartphone all together. It is becoming quite obvious that Big Brother relies on you adopting technology to make their surveillance possible.
I'm buying a rather dumb phone when my contract is up. I'll still toss it in a Faraday Bag when it is not in use.
Better yet, get a PinePhone that runs Linux.
Yep. They work great.
I can't believe we have all agreed to bug our own houses. I've really been meaning to downgrade to the most basic phone possible. Only thing stopping me is my own lack of initiative. Time to man up.

I don't even trust most consumer electronics these days. Went to go buy my old man a webcam for his birthday and every one available is from some no name chink brand you've never heard of. I wouldn't trust any of them to not be opening their own VPN to God knows where until I install them on an isolated node and sniff for any outward routed traffic.
New dump phones run on android. They are literally stripped down smartphones with no touch screen.
You could be right, but what do I do then? Not have a way to contact my wife?
Let's just start using pigeons to communicate
Why on earth would you do that?!
According to Rogan's first talk with Snowden, the only way to know your phone isn't actively listening is to get a dumb phone and remove the battery.
Yeah. There's another reason most smart phones these days especially all iphones have non removable batteries
Well if you buy any battery unremovable phone make sure it has water resistance. Always carry In a faraday cage. Shit you could also put it in a charging sound box for home.
It might be worth going back to land-lines unless those are just as easy to listen in with.
Easier, but you don't always have it in your pocket
Those won't exist soon.
I installed smart lights, paired my fireTV stick to my alexa thermostat, got a car version of Alexa, and now have to learn sign language to complain about the government so they can't hear me.
My girlfriend asked why I carry a gun around the house.
I looked her dead in the eye and said, "the motherfucking decepticons". She laughed, I laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot the toaster, it was a good time.
Not with my phone. Yes it's powered by the phone company's -48VDC, but when the receiver is on the hook it's physically disconnected from the line. No way to monitor from that, unless someone broke into my house and messed with the wiring.
Also, it's mono.
Librem 5 has 3 separate physical disconnect switches for the cameras/mic, the wifi, and the cellular receiver/transmitter/gps
Pre-order/waiting list is $750
If you want one where all the electronics are sourced from the US (which is awesome) they have an option for sale at $2k (yikes, but I'm glad it exists anyways)
Their competitor, PinePhone is going the opposite route with their kill switch option at $150 and you can get it now. The switches aren't as well placed, and the OS isn't as far along as with the Librem, but the price point is damn accessible.
Literally every other phone is a microsoft/google/apple spybox so honestly, everyone who cares about privacy and liberty should be grabbing one or the other. Yes they are linux phones, no neither OS is polished or complete... but do you want a functional phone with kill switches NOW or do you want to wait on kill switches until the OS is at the same polish as your current CIA pocket wiretap?
$150 now and you can.
It makes calls, sends text, and can access the internet

Seems to be popular, looks like it might be temporarily sold out and is now waiting list only.
This horseshit with restaurants going 100% "Digital Menu Only" needs to fucking stop.
And the also now common "Oopsie, here's a plastic cup because we suddenly don't have glasses anymore!" (They Do) "Oh yeah, and we also don't have tap water anymore!" (They Do)
These are coming from the same people who are saying the ocean is full of plastic. Let us use our reusable glasses in peace! You use it, you clean it, you use it again.
Grabage island is real, and it's fucking horrifying to see. But it's also 3rd world countries dumping garbage into the ocean.
Don't support businesses that refuse to serve you without a mask.
This policy has saved me at least a grand this year
Exactly what ive been doing since July
I hate this too. All they're doing is saving money on dishwashing and dishwasher labor.
I think there is a reason many new phones have a battery that can't be removed. It's always listening.
No, iPhones do it to force you to pay them to replace your battery
I agree. Samsung too. Of course there is some money in that. But that's not the whole story, IMO. There is too much money and power in the ability to be able to track your location and listen in at all times.
Like I told other people, test your theory. Turn off your phone for 24 hours, then turn it back on and see if the battery died. For your control you can leave the phone on on do not disturb and don’t use it for 24 hours
The point is that there would be a built in reserve that doesn't show on your battery life indicator. That way even if your phone "dies", they're still getting your data. At which point you hurry to a charger before the reserve dries up.
They can do it for 2 reasons
It’s a pretty crazy conspiracy theory to say it’s to keep your phone on secretly even when off. You need evidence. I have evidence it’s wrong. Your battery holds its charge very well while off.
No power is needed to achieve this. Chips can be installed that listen, collect and send data (type in any variation of "chips, spy, no power," into your favorite search engine, add "China" for additional interesting results). Further, have you ever considered how landline telephones are able to operate without any power whatsoever? There are a number of ways a cell phone, or any electrical device, can be used to spy on you and/or collect and send data, most requiring little or no power/electricity at all, or connection to wifi or anything else. Its capabilities increase significantly when it does use even the most minuscule amount of power (like, might drain 1 or 2% of your battery, when powered off, over a span of weeks or months. A kindle reader, for instance, can remain on, while displaying advertisements, and it still takes months for it to drain)
I think you're right on this. Apple, for all their arrogance, thinks profit first and state-sanctioned surveillance second. Not to say the interests don't dovetail nicely (for them; it's a shit-sandwich for us), but whatever the outcome, they did it first and foremost as part of their No-Repair-Plus-Planned-Obsolescence portfolio planning that came to light years ago but was quietly squashed and unreported after a few lawsuit settlements.
If you get searched by the police and they find a turned-off phone they will most likely arrest you for endangering the public. Or they will fine you thousands of dollars.
I dont get why people put up with this tyranny. why can't they just rise up and... oh yeah they gave up their guns like a bunch of idiots nevermind.
Then ditch the smart phone altogether and get a flip. Have we not yet recognized as a society how harmful these "smart" devices are to our culture?
They'll kill all 3G networks soon enough, mark my words, and then it'll be always-on smartphones only if you want to use a phone.
Let's cross [fight] that bridge when we get there.
That itself leaks a lot of information. Leave it turned on, but at home.
If more people left their smart devices at home.. or "downgraded" to a flip phone.. we would be much better off as a society. Especially the youth.
Yep. Would probably improve everyone's mental health to boot.
Surge in dumbphones would not be out of the question, cf. Nokia 3315.
Any phone using a cell tower can be triangulated
Guess that's it for cell phones then, I'm ready to turn mine off.
Pinephone and Librem 5 have real kill switches. Support these projects if you can.
I miss the old Nokias, dammit...
In some parts of China, the crosswalks won't change for you without the COVID app on.your phone broadcasting that you tested negative.
What stops you from crossing anyway?
Nothing, but you also can't get on the bus, the train, make a purchase, or interact with much in general.
Might be time to use more forceful measures if someone refuses to sell/interact with you. What would the left do?
Harvest your organs for protesting the app.
how are they going to force people to install the app though?
Same here.
It was pushed out via Google Play Services. Make sure you don't have the Google Play Store or other Google apps installed, either
Android:
Settings, search for Running Services, choose Running Services, go to Google Play Services, choose "Stop" for "ExposureMatchingService".
Should (usually does) kill it until either you restart your phone or Google runs an update.
You may need to activate the "Developer" capability option special menu on your phone to do the above. If so,...
Before you can enable Developer options on your Android phone or tablet, you'll first need to find your phone's build number. On most phones, you can simply type build number into the search field. Or it often is something like: Settings > System > About phone > Build number
Once you’ve found the screen with your Build number, you'll need to tap on it seven seven times. That's right: seven times. After a few taps, you'll see a small pop-up alert telling you that "You are now X steps away from being a developer" with a number that counts down with every additional tap. Once you have this, you have access to a few Android menus and stuff that are normally hidden.
If you ever want to undo the extra level of access, just (in the Developer Options menu) unclick (oh the top in highlight) "On". You will likely never want to do this, but...
You're the man now, dog.
FYI - as extra info...
Note: ExposureMatchingService currently needs a second app to snitch on you, but who knows if that is fully true. I kill it and also turn off the tracking "even when Bluetooth is disabled" so I have backup protection if my main Bluetooth is set for off on any given minute.
In addition, and not specific to the above...if ever needed or desired...
But yes, if they want to, they can track where you were by cell tower reception.
However, to enable their functionality, you must first unlock Developer options.
Under the option "Select mock location app," choose the app that has location spoofing abilities. Once selected, you will now be able to use the app to change location, whether that in the town next door or another country.
Say, to report that you are in your house (when elsewhere). Yes, you can "see" yourself (your location) moving along a road in beautiful North Korea or Somalia.
It’s there on earlier version but made mandatory on iOS13.7+
Good thing mine's on 13.5.1. It's nagging me to update, but it can keep on doing so. (And the backup phone is on 10.3.3 and can't be updated...)
How else will you buy/sell goods if you can’t prove you’re not infected?
Clearly we need some sort of mark.
Obviously it should go either on your right hand or forehead.
Why not both? A finger and a thumb In the shape of an "L" on your forehead
Anyone ever tell you... you're an all-star?
The years start coming
Perhaps there is some sort of number they could assign to people to designate they aren't infected?
It will probably eventually become an “update” like Apple’s
It will be included on new phones just like Bixby. Thats the trial run. People deal with Bixby and even a button dedicated to Bixby and its annoying. And its on a device they PAY $1000 FOR.
NYPD will just carry out random stop and searches. They find a smartphone they will ask you do you have the app. After that, it will depend on how much a good lair you are.
If you don't pattern lock your phone they might even just look. If you are found not to have it. Either arrest you for endangering the public or fine you thousands of dollars.
This is New York we are talking about so dont say that would never happen. Its a socialist state in all but name at this point.
I’m Australia they can examine your phone when you fly into the country to see if you are involved in any “conspiracy” sites or conversations.
Previously, I'd fly into countries and get a local sim but I think any time I travel now, I'm leaving my EDC phone at home.
What’s an EDC phone?
Every Day Carry.
EDC = every day carry.
Imagine gestapo style police in subways and popular thoroughfares. Forcibly and "randomly" stopping people and dad dicking the constitution.
They can download this dick. I'm going back to a landline and flip phone. Fuck this
This was tried in Europe 4 months ago, with massive support from politics and mainstream media, and it was a total failure.
Two reasons:
Yeah, they just released it in the UK a couple of weeks ago. Maybe about 20% of the population have downloaded it.
True, but that's not a majority.
The envelope was already pushed with masks, this is just the natural progression
This must be stopped immediately. This is the house arrest without trial. We can't let this happen. It's time. If you were waiting for something, this is it.
It fucking sucks.
Went to middle school in east ridge there in Chattanooga. Love my home state like nothing else but some of the city areas can definitely be rough. Small town living and country living are fantastic in TN though.
Believe me, as soon as I have the funds I'm out. Decided this as soon as I realized things don't have to be the way they are (shitty).
Good on ya though, enjoy your freedom!
This is state wide.
It will be stopped by people not downloading the app and using it. This won't happen though. There are enough people out there that will download this app and use it that it will be presented as a success, then pushed out to other markets. Then it will be pushed further, along with other similar or related technologies. Then corporations will start requiring it for employees. Then it will spread more and become common place.
There is no stopping it
We have this in Canada (15 minutes of "close contact"), and only about 10% of the population has downloaded that app - though only 5 provinces have it implemented so far. I won't download it, so there's that. It's not mandatory, yet, thankfully. It also doesn't track location but something to do with blue tooth connectivity or something - or some encrypted system. I still don't trust it and never will.
With companies I think they can only mandate it, IF the cell phone is their's to begin with and not a personal phone. Though having a work phone and a personal phone would kinda defeat the purpose of the system they want anyways XD
10% adoption in under a year is astronomical. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. They would've been lucky to get to .001% before Christians start holding full doomsday meetings about the mark of the beast, let alone any other push-back.
Too bad the church is run by white women. Karen's and their weaponized compassion are the number one reason this has taken off so quickly.
It's Canada to be fair. Most of us like taking government cock up our butthole, maybe a taser too. I honestly say 'only 10%' because I expected it to be much higher.
Government: Oh yeah? Who’s gonna stop it? You? Haha.
Me: Muhaha AR15 go brrrrr. Enjoy Hell piggies.
It's New York. They haven't done anything yet. No one has really done anything. The COVID cult is growing by the day.
It’s so fucking creepy seeing people wear masks all the fucking time. I actually don’t mind wearing one in some situations, like going to the grocery store. It’s their store, and it’s not hard. Don’t think it’ll help, but they own the place. Outside though? Fucking outside? On the sidewalk? When nobody is around for 20-50’? I’ve had Karen types come up to me from 50’ away yelling at me for not having a mask on. I immediately pull it out and say I have a mask for when I need it, but no one being around for 50’ means I do not need it.
Thankfully, even in the Bay, I’ve gotten by without wearing a mask much for the duration of the lockdown we’re still in. I just avoid people. Not hard when everyone’s pretending the apocalypse happened. Cops in my area are mostly based too. They’ll have them hanging from their uniform but only wear them if needed, which is basically never.
I laugh when I see people driving alone in their vehicle with a mask on.
Like, do you wear a condom when you sleep alone too?
We’ve got plenty of that. I’ve even had people proud of it. They were driving and had a mask on while alone in their own car and I was on the side walk all alone walking with my dog. They rolled down their window and stopped and yelled at me for not having a mask.
To them, having a mask on in the car all alone was an act of virtue. To me, it was an act of mental derangement. Keep in mind I was the only person out on the entire block and was near my home.
Earlier in the pandemic I told a woman to go fuck herself when she shrieked at me for not wearing a mask.
I have yet to be accosted. I have however settled on my go-to retort being, "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a fuck if you DIE."
A lot of women who get abortions claim they got pregnant by accident. They almost describe it like they were chilling with their man and suddenly both their pants flew off all by themselves and then their groins became supermagnets with opposite attractions and they weren't able to stop from colliding into each other.
Maybe if men wore condoms all the time there wouldn't be nearly as many abortions.
Stores I roll my eyes and do it. But if I'm using a disposable mask, I make a point to pull it off in front of everyone the exact moment I leave the store.
It's total bullshit. Yeah they own the place and yeah I don't mind because I would prefer people around me be comfortable / not scare any elderly who are scared for actually legitimate reasons but this is for short sprints of time.
Biden wants us to wear a mask everywhere in his Islamic vision, including outside on the sidewalk
I laughed reading people criticizing his family for not wearing masks in there. They’d all been tested before being allowed in there. Nobody in that room had the virus. It’s not like fucking Trump or Biden or Chris wore masks. Biden’s wife wearing one was hilarious. “Bitch, you’re going to take it right off when you’re with Joe once you leave.”
Is it really legal for companies to require a mask to enter their business?
Seems almost like a civil rights issue the left is so fond of.
Can store owners demand you have a certain skin color to enter their store?

"Clown World Effect"
Anyone who says they don’t like him is either a pussy, a shill, or some of my friends think he’s controlled opposition and that he’s actually deep state.
As someone who heard far more about Tim's Adventure To Redpill Land than actually watched his real content, but then finally subbed to Timcast just to see what he's up to these days, I'm actually somewhat shocked at how conservative he's become. No way he's opposition.
As sophisticated as the globalist propaganda network is (and mind you, it's coordinated, but loosely rather than monolithically, via the ownership cadre of the US major media properties, BBC administrators, and many, many more), I don't think they're so sophisticated as to wrangle someone like AJ. His outlandish approach, rather, can often serve the left's purpose by seeming to undercut his own arguments, but it's almost certainly coincidental, not planned.
I'd point to someone who says blandly-correct things yet accomplishes nothing, like Hannity, far quicker than I'd point to AJ. In fact, I don't actually point at Hannity (I think he's more an vain opportunist, like Beck but much smarter in knowing where his bread is buttered), mainly because he has great guests (John Solomon, Sara Carter, etc.) and gives them a platform, but you get my drift.
After dropping Millie Weaver I'm firmly in the last camp.
Interesting; I didn’t know anything about the Millie Weaver situation until you mentioned it.
Call me a pussy or shill or whatever makes your asshole tingle, but even though I agree with some of what Alex Jones has to say, his "wild man who has GOTTA GET REALLY LOUD AND SCREAM LIKE A FUCKING LUNATIC" shtick is absolutely fucking ridiculous and I don't like listening to the guy because of it. I don't think he's "crazy" or that he's completely wrong, and I know the guy isn't always going off like that, but it just comes off as a fucking stupid gimmick for a grown ass man.
AJ has a less censored link, 2020electioncenter.com
What did he say?
Me: "Here's scientific proof Alex Jone is correct"
Normie: "alex jones said frogs are gay huehuehue"
Me: "Are you even listening?"
Normie: "i like alex jones memes huehuehue"
Wait until the social credit score comes. Everything the left does is a trial. 2017 was a trial run for 2020. CA long been a "trial run" for the rest of America.

If that's their plan I can see why disarming us was so important. Too bad they failed.
All the guns in the world mean nothing if no ones willing to use them...
We aren’t Republicans. Both parties are corrupt to the core. Every institution must be rebuilt in Critical MAGA theory, hopefully with no loss of life. I’d suggest even starting our own MAGA currency so when the country splits we can get other country’s to use our currency. DJT on the $1 bill, perhaps Tucker on the $20?
Fuck the turtle he’s ready to betray Trump at any moment. I can dig Trump on the $100 though. I got this idea seeing China is running out of US dollars. So imagine if we had our own currency with a hard ban on doing business with the CCP. Would crash them even more. And any new alliances would have to convert to MAGAcoin over the $USD
Vote him out then, if he's your representative.
I'm willing to set some things aside if they support our president, personally.
But if he can't force ACB through then he doesn't get that privilege.
As if
Join Proud Boys
Kinda the problem. Everyone wants to wait for someone else to lead. The left is able to create hundreds of violent and radical calls to action because no one bats an eye.
But conservatives start to muster and they get the "white supremacist militia group!" socially taboo label, and the country still cares too much about falsely being labeled racist.
Yeah even stating the obvious gets you down voted like crazy. Thats how delusional most are.
Yep.
People haven't used them yet, so they're probably never gonna use them.

Soon?
Soon was 60 years ago.
Too bad they've failed SO FAR. Important to note, they're not going to stop trying. Just wait for the next school shooting when they're in power again. I don't care how many justices Trump puts in, the Supreme Court has failed time after time to protect our gun rights
One scenario that plays in my head is something like Melbourne happens here, like when the lady got arrested in her house, or even the person getting arrested for maybe not wearing a mask in Ohio, but the COVAX enforcer gets 2A'd because America.
This is then used as a Port Arthur event to attempt to disarm the population.
So many boating accidents
My middle school told us that they'd be checking our myspace pages(yes I'm showing my age) to see if we posted anything they disagreed with or anything deemed inappropriate.
Never explained what this ment but even back then the idea of them invading our lives like that freaked me out.
Showing your age? Lmao..I was 25 when myspace was out. 😂
And even then, that's an invasion of privacy.
An argument can be made that when you are a kid in school, a majority of your rights are suspended because you have to obey the authority figures.
However, unless you are threatening to kill people or damage property then social media is firmly separate from school and should be protected.
“It’s voluntary”
Becomes
“We found you outside without a mask so you can be fined/jailed, or just download this app. It’s voluntary.”
Becomes
"The app detected your violation and automatically paid the resulting fine."
You are fined one credit for the violation of the Verbal Morality Statute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9uFYwBB8HE
Didn't realize demolition man was so prescient.
It's voluntary until not enough people download it. Dont worry they will say not enough people have downloaded. Then it will be made law to have it. The COVID cult will shame other people to download because it might kill their granny if you don't.
I started turning off my Bluetooth and GPS months ago because of this. From optional, to mandatory, to its now built into the phone without telling you and now it's retroactive. We know where you've been.
Says the 60 year old without a granny.
Get on the train to the covid quarantine camp or download the voluntary app to quarantine at home.
Underrated comment. Also see the 4th Amendment.
But it's "voluntary" for now, until the fucking Karens demand it.
I can't believe anybody still thinks the last seven months of bullshit were ever about a (fairly benign) virus.
Politicization of this virus is yet another symptom of the left and their propaganda arm's wanton disregard for the Constitutional rights of citizens in a bid to win the election no matter how many have to die or be unpersoned or lose their livelihoods.
Why are you calling them Nazis??
I'm about to fucking lose it.

If we're talking brainwashed but not necessarily nefarious then I would include Mark Hamil and Adam Savage. Extreme TDS.
Anyone want to list TDS celebs?
They are definitely TDS.
Still love both of them, and they're allowed to have their own opinions. But I really hate when celebrities use their platform to try and alienate their fans
Libtard level retarded.
But I thought masks work? If that's true why do I need this app?
Don't update your phone. They will just sneak it on there with no way to delete it after.
You can completely remove the Covid 19 API (exposure notification update) by uninstalling Google Play Services Updates, then disable Play Store altogether.
When you need an app, find the APK online and install it the manual way.
Some people are so useless that this kind of app would fuel a hero complex.
"I helped quarantine 80 people because I helped track them down."
Lol look at all these people who won't go without their phone.
China is one of the places globalists test their plans. 2020electioncenter.com

Wait till they show up to your house, demand you submit to a test, say you’re positive and “quarantine” (disappear) you.
Bye bye America.. this is our future. They’re foaming at the mouth now that they have tasted power.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you his crime” #justtotalitarianthings
They better bring a bodybag if they want to remove me from my house.
Ahh I can finally walk around in Kroger in Tennessee without a mask on. IM FREE AGAIN
I left two fish stores today because I was accosted at both by rude employees demanding mask compliance. At the first one, I put the damn thing on only to be immediately approached again and criticized because it didn't cover my nose how they wanted. Drove 30 minutes across town to another store, walked in, and the owner immediately says "mask?" Turned around and walked out.
This is in Ohio. Our governor is supposed to be GOP but he's just a cuck. What's truly pathetic is how the mask thing is being driven as a wedge between people. I love aquariums, I'm sure I would've gotten along smashingly with all those people, but instead everyone leaves the interaction sour because of the fucking masks that don't even WORK.
No the only reason the mask thing is working is because it’s a medical issue. I use the term “issue” very generously. Even my father, who’s as based as they come, will call me on the phone and complain about people not wearing masks in the store. He is full MAGA all the way, but he doesn’t see it the way we do. Most Republicans are like my father.
But as soon as the globalists try to implement communism in a non-medical way, I guarantee you they will be thwarted.
Yeah, but that's exactly why they're implementing communism in the medical way. This mask thing isn't a fluke. It's a prelude.
Vaccines become mandatory. Taxes are raised to cover all the additional medical infrastructure and tracking. Small businesses go out of business because they can't afford to comply with the health standard. Large corporations take over all commerce, and they will be controlled by government mandates and elite private interests. Etc.
Guess who the Harvard School of Public Health is named after? A Chinese national businessman. It's called the T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Guess who founded that same school in 1921 making it the first public health institution in the US? The Rockefeller Foundation.
Medical authority is the backdoor to power, because if you threaten someone's health, they get scared and stop thinking. Non-thinking people are just animals. Animals are easily controlled.
Never stop thinking.
Not when an entire generation is raised in that kind of environment and they're not able to perceive any difference as the medical excuse is gradually and silently dropped.
I'm so disappointed in these people... It makes no sense but they all just swallow it whole, no questions asked.
Give it time. Most people thought they were free at the end of the summer. The COVID cult is growing.
I don’t know if I would say it’s growing, I think more people are pissed about masks by now than ever
You would be surprised. It comes from people that can do their jobs from home. So they want everyone else locked up and only let people that drive vans out and about. Then they can deliver their Amazon packages to them.
The whole "just sitting in your house and order off Amazon" has been a thing for years. People LOVED the first lockdown.
These are the people that turned into the COVID cult.
The average american isn't very smart
I do this in Kentucky all the time. Not supposed to, but fuck Andy Beshear. That shit-dicked faggot can't tell me what to do.
spez: damn I love being able to use the language necessary to express my feelings for my governor and not get banned. Twitter is a fun way to fight on the front lines, but man is it annoying having to tip-toe around those cucks.
Seriously, we need more .win boards where we can talk freely. Fuck reddit
You guys in TN rock. I got to visit quite a few places in TN back in July, and along with KY, you guys are patriotic as all hell in not following the Branch Covidians directives.
1.52% positivity rate is alarmingly high?
In a city that large that's laughably low. Not to mention those covid-19 tests aren't perfect so the actual number may even be lower.
I thought this too. Below two is supposed to be great.
Next come the drones.

They've had this in countries like the UK for around 2 months. Hundreds of thousands have signed up.
COVID scaremongering has turned millions of people that would have been against things like this into a COVID cult. People that want governments to lock them up.
It's a dark time we are living in.
I don’t advocate vigilante justice, but these worthless fucks are almost literally dying to give many groups of people reasons to ruin their lives.
What asshole would download that app?
Visit the forums of websites such as CNET, The Verge, MacRumors, or you tubers like MKBHD.
“Tech enthusiasts” eat this shit like candy.
I'm super disappointed in MKBHD. Wouldn't be surprised if he's been MKUltra'd.
Recently he's been consistently bringing up race when his success came from NOT making his skin color an issue and just making quality content.
I never think about color until he brings it up.
I used to watch him until he started with the masks and race bullshit. China is definitely one of his sponsors.
imagine being a internet/cellular tech enthusiast after 2007. They are about the dumbest people out there. Its the designers, coders, software engineers who are the low-fi ones because they know the inner workings.
Enough assholes
yea I figured...
What in the fuck.

We have an app just like this in Australia called COVID safe, In the first few days after launch There was a huge Privacy breech uncovered. The useful idiots love the app but the vast majority of normies have to little trust in the government to ever use it. The Australian government has shown us time and time again they can't be trusted with stuff like this
They are out of control down there. Godspeed
They really are, We have a literal Communist Leading Victoria's State parliament, he's so far up the CCPs ass that it's actually terrifying. Funny enough Victoria is also the state to be hit hardest by the Chinese Communist virus. Almost as if China is the one pulling the strings
If you only knew how far the rabbit hole goes.
Ohh I know how deep it goes, Unfortunately Australians don't because most are uninformed Dumb fucks who vote (Voting is compulsory) for the same shit hoping for a different outcome because "She'll be right mate" Its honestly The most infuriating thing
American government can't be trusted either, but this is still probably going to be enthusiastically embraced by an alarming portion of the population.

What's the plan when they roll this garbage out on a nationwide scale? It's going to happen at some point.
Are people legitimately going to revolt? Or are people going to yet again roll over and take it?
Roll over most likely.
People here are all talk no action.
Stop pushing people to action before the election. We must hold the line
Yup.
Well, which is it? Does it collect names, allowing you to contact those people, or does it not?
Your phone keeps track of what character strings it has chirped out, when you flag yourself as infected these strings are flagged and compared to what other phones have heard. If other phones have heard these strings a notification is sent to those phones saying they've been in proximity to someone infected, no names or contact info necessary.
Yeah, first you install an app on your phone, then, so many people forget to bring their phones with them, so you get chipped, you know, for EvERyOnES sAFeTy.
Also, to the first person to bring up the slippery slope: your Mom's a hoe.
Hoe Lee FUCK. Ok we need a revolution... NOW
The revolution will not be televised. The revolution is in your mind. The revolution is here!

Guess it's time to get a new battery and large SIM for my mid 90's indestructible Nokia 3310.
Think he is talking about using it as a phone. Not using whatever the internet looks like on those old phones.
Cut the cord, dude. Do you really need a phone in your hand at every moment?
I'm old enough to know what it's like to remember the only phone in my life was the cheapest one at Target attached with a wire to the wall.
My iphone has dust on in, from where it sits on my desk. iPhone 6. When it dies, I'm getting a damn flip phone.
Dear Cuomo,
Get fucked.
It's already on your phone in the latest Android update (also Iphone). Not conspiracy. Go to your settings, search covid.
I’m old enough to remember when we were going to have a “2 week lockdown” to end covid.
Restaurants should have a bucket where everyone can put their phone while eating. That would really screw them up.
It's chirping out random characters, it is not making a connection to anything. You're as connected to each other as you are to a radio antenna or a guy yelling in the town square.
Well then your problem is with Bluetooth, not with the app and this stupid m(UH 1984 bullshit.
Wouldn't a run of the mill wifi connection or even 3G/4G data be even more prevalent, long range and vulnerable to this?
edit : Ah yeah maybe not, as bluetooth is peer-to-peer and they are not.
This is already on your Android phones if you go into the settings.
That's just the API. It still needs one of the state provided apps to be fully functional. Without the corresponding app, the API built into Android and iOS does nothing.
You can remove the Android API by uninstalling Google Play Services Updates, disable Play Services, and disable Play Store to be extra safe.
When you need an app, find the APK online and download it and install manually.
And no one is going to do a damn thing about it.
who the fuck would download that?
Fuck me. Just leave your phone at home. Or, better yet, get rid of it.
Uh...wut? How can the health department use app data to contact users who've been in close proximity with infected patients if the app doesn't have access to personally identifying information?
HO-LEE-SHIT GUYS! A positivity rate of ONE POINT FIFTY-TWO PERCENT! That's absolutely worth descending into a 1984-esque authoritarian surveillance state.
Break up big tech Trump then everyone will see the uncensored social media denouncing this bullshit. People have to see our numbers online than their sheep brain won't just constantly eat up leftist garbage.
You can turn on “exposure notifications” in iPhone settings as well. Just go to settings and scroll down a bit. It’s 🤡🌎
Nah fam, I’ve refused to update my iOS since before the ‘Rona.
I ain’t turning that shit on, but just the fact that it’s there is 🤮. If they auto turn it on i’m throwing this phone in the trash
Just as a heads up, Apple has been pushing updates against user knowledge for years. If you put off an update long enough, the phone/computer/whatever will update on its own in the background without asking permission. It's part of what ensured the updates to older phones got pushed through to mess up the battery life and force owners to upgrade to a new device.
We've got this contact tracing shit in Australia, it doesn't work unless everyone opts in. Just don't get the app and encourage others to not opt in.
In Australia they have a full on barrage of media about the "covid safe app" their pushing it hard. It won't stop you getting sick, it won't stop the spread of the virus. Its just another mechanism of control.
I'd sooner throw my phone in the toilet
