    They probably mean all the traffic cams and stuff and junk that tracks you. Oh and your phone, probably

      Gotta switch to Linux phones and iPhones to minimize the risk on the phones side of things

        Certainly not iphones tho, right??? Aren’t they the biggest aggressor against privacy?

          iPhones encrypt everything locally, as well as in iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime. No apps can access any data outside of data entered into the app itself without explicit user consent. They’ve repeatedly fought the FBI on creating backdoor access, and have yet to lose. They only collect anonymous user data for in-house engineering if the user chooses to opt-in. If you ask for your GDPR abstract of data from Apple, it will only include your name, billing address, and phone number. Apple is big on privacy.

            And you can find your lost phone even when it’s off! Not that that negates all the other user data stuff. But you can’t say big on privacy if you can’t ever hide your phone from them. There’s faraday cages I guess.

              They can’t find your phone. You can. It’s encrypted through your iCloud Apple ID. Find My iPhone is disabled by default. You have to enable it prior to losing it to find your iPhone on a map or remotely erase it. If you lose your phone and go to an Apple Store, all they can do to help you is show you how to log into iCloud to find it.
