Does nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ks3f750r help mitigate this (vs. iOS) or is it more about the apps one chooses to download? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has bought access to a surveillance tool that is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data from hundreds of millions of mobile phones, according to ICE documents reviewed by 404 Media. The documents explicitly show that ICE is choosing this product over others offered by the contractor’s competitors because it gives ICE essentially an “all-in-one” tool for searching both masses of location data and information taken from social media. The documents also show that ICE is planning to once again use location data remotely harvested from peoples’ smartphones after previously saying it had stopped the practice. “The Biden Administration shut down DHS’s location data purchases after an inspector general found that DHS had broken the law. Every American should be concerned that Trump's hand-picked security force is once again buying and using location data without a warrant,” Senator Ron Wyden told 404 Media in a statement. https://www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-tool-that-tracks-locations-of-hundreds-of-millions-of-phones-every-day/ Without paywall: https://archive.ph/WFsNN#selection-633.0-633.316 nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxptfdxtxrw026pxn0w82u9y4x6t3w5kp883d83djpgxuvj6d23s5a989q3 nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqg9e3hk5e6h2ypusm09ncv2qq6fqp8f5clueylpgdq66nxm5sxjuyglxj8lw nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj76rfwd6zumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgewaehxw309ahx7um5wf3ksetrdvhx6ef0wfjkccteqqsrkl7gyds37xh2af37uwlknvjm32ska3hgr5d0cwgzdqy0ux2r2ncqcsc2a

Am I screaming into the void everytime I say that your phone is a snitch? What ICE is buying isn’t some secret backdoor. It’s your network and apps leaking ad IDs and GPS pings. They aggregate it, stitch it, and sell it back to the state. Graphene strips more out at the root but it's not magic. OS, app, and settings selection can limit the amount and type of data leaked but there is no way to stop it completely unless you faraday, rotate burners, or just don't carry a phone. https://untraceabledigitaldissident.com/smartphone-privacy-guide/
