Ok this thread is already too long so I'll wrap it up. If you have questions, I'll do my best to answer This is scary stuff. The US government is using weapons of war against the people it's supposed to protect and serve With vigilance and knowledge, we can get through this
A lot of people are asking what old tech is good and I wish I could tell you. I can tell you what old tech was 10 years ago: encrypted radio I don't know for sure if flip phones or bricks are actually better than smart phones, but I'd bet money that they are
Something else I should mention, which seems obvious but might not be Unless you're actively under investigation no one is listening to you in real time. What they ARE doing is vacuuming up all your calls/texts/location/metadata and storing it
If you become a target or of interest, THAT'S when they'll sift through your communications So it's not a panopticon situation--maybe they're looking and maybe they're not. Once your number goes in the machine and the machine turns on, your shit is recorded and it's forever
Based on some private communications it seems that encrypted radio is probably the way to go, not flip phones Again though, it's not practical to trade your phone for radio 24/7. For most of us there's just gotta be some acceptance in here somewhere
Sneakers. Sneakers are good. In the ancient times, there was sneaker-net, in which coded and or encrypted info was exchanged by passing micro-storage devices, usually not face to face, to move info through hubs without telecommunications vulnerabilities. Still works.
The other approach, which I touched on last night, is to use a Pixel phone flashed with a security oriented OS like GrapheneOS, and secure apps that are open source and not part of a convenient ecosystem. Use a foreign VPN and only trusted Wi-Fi when you must, but no SIM ever.
Flip phones use the same networks as smart phones, so they use the same handshakes/keys/encryption. There's no way they're more secure- there's less nonsense to sort through, so feds can immediately get to the meat of your comms
Can't turn off the tracker on a brick either. Don't know if the contacts are rippable with stingray. At this point nonstandard semaphore might be the best bet.
