My never click on links sent in TXTs or emails policy has, so far, protected my devices, knock on wood.
Every device you use has a built in back door that any of the intelligence agencies as well as law enforcement can access anytime, without a warrant, even with your phone turned off.
Every site you visit, every e-mail, every phone call, every text, every place you visit. All of it.
I assume someone can access my phone.
I cover the camera whan I’m not using it.
The only privacy these days is anonymity, if someone wants to spy on you, they will.
I turn off all google apps, the camera, microphone, location and the rest
I know all that can be sidestepped, I just make it a pain in the ass.
I have a flip phone and I always place it upside down on the camera portal for that purpose. If I am having a conversation I place the phone in a sound proof box of my making so the mic can’t pick up sound. I even have a faraday bag I use when I am traveling so as not to ping the cell towers like a blithering idiot. If they are tracking me, I am at home and next if I have to use the phone at a doctors appointment or wally world thirty miles away.
I also use a flip-phone – I am technically challenged when it comes to smart phones. I tried one from VW last spring – 4 days later, I returned it and bought the old tried & true dust-shock-water resistant model that I used for 20+ years back in VA, when I was living on the farm. It works for me.
That’s why I keep my cell and tv as stupid as possible. No data turned on, no wifi turned on, no blue tooth turned on until I need it. Then right back off again.
I put painters tape over the lens. I use my smartphone for reading news, looking up how to videos and looking at naked ladies without putting up with their verbal assalt.

I wonder if they collaborate with the GKB (google kgb)?
Excellent! I for one will sleep better knowing that our privacy is protected by Our Greatest Ally. If we serve G-dās People loyally and obediently then they will take care of us in return. š
Fuckers
I have a flip phone that sits on my shop office desk and only take it along when I have to go somewhere farther away. It gets put on the charger once a week and turned on maybe once a month and I don’t text or get texts. If someone wants to reach me they can call the shop since I’m there from 6 AM to 6 PM and after that, no phones, no disturbance. Grew up with a 10 family party line and have hated phones ever since.
