Friendly reminder that your phones are always listening to you and storing a recording 'in the cloud'.

Ideally, I recommend a Pixel phone with Graphene OS installed.
For other things you can do to make yourself more anonymous online, check out this guide.
My tin foil hat is looking less goofy these days.
I've been using GrapheneOS on my pixel 7 for the last 3 months. Works perfectly.
If that was true, I would have been disappeared weeks ago.
Yep! Your pocket Computer can't be trusted.
This is not a real thing that's happening psycho_driver
You're an imbecile if you are still in denial about this at this point.
Anyone that believes your phone is sending every sound it receives to the cloud knows absolutely nothing about data storage and transfer.
It would require more storage than the entire rest of the internet combined, would horribly tax both internet and cell infrastructure, and 99% of it would be useless noise. You might get that with targeted surveillance, but we're not all being targeted like that.
What's far more likely is that your phone is doing semantic analysis on what you're saying all the time and reporting that data. It's much less data, much easier to keep track of, provides actionable insights at scale, and would be far more useful to an oppressive regime. Your phone isn't sending recordings of your conversations, it's sending metadata about all your conversations.
do you know if turning off microphone access actually does anything? im assuming my phone is always listening as long as it's got a charge. same with location.
It's good to be careful, we should all be reevaluating our personal security. But it's bad to mistake paranoia for certainty.
They clearly aren't intending to let us get to the midterms, let alone the next presidential. They can sense the wind changing, and it isn't in their favor.
And yet the Dem leadership just continues being dickless cowards. We need more pressure, more protesters, more boycotting, more disruption NOW.
I watched this breifing. It's crazy how WH officials talk now. "You should be greatful that we have this amazing president making America great again" (paraphrasing). Reminiscent of North Korea. I wonder how much of his cabinet are grifters or have actually drank the Kool-Aid.
Pick me! Get me out of this shithole country
You might wanna do some homework on El Salvador first.
It was kind of sarcastic, but I wonder how much longer until it’s not
Thinking end of summer. You'll be seeing criminals getting deported to make room for others. Then slowly work its way to people of color.
If you are a citizen and they deport you, there is no guarantee they send you anywhere, they can indefinitely detain you at a labor camp. They already delay actually sending deportees to their home countries.
its like BORIS johnsons thing, deporitng people Rwanda.
