Your smartphone tracks your location, listens to your conversations, and sells your intimate moments to data brokers.

The law pretends to regulate this, but lobbyists write the rules and enforcement is a joke.

Encryption apps aren’t enough when the hardware itself is designed to betray you.

The phone is a spy device marketed as a lifestyle accessory.

We need radical technical solutions, not incremental privacy policies that change nothing.

The surveillance economy depends on your ignorance and inaction.

Break the chain: use open hardware, de-Googled Android, or build your own tools.

How much of your life are you willing to sell for a slightly more convenient map app?

    Best friend is stuck on his iPhone. Does anybody have any quick and easy links that show how bad Apple is at privacy? I’ve been trying to get a few together to show him and hopefully break the cycle.

        It’s not as bad as Google but still pretty terrible. I too would like to see a comprehensive list on Apple issues.
