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?

    How do you get around 2FA? I was able to stay off of phones for so long, but the standard 2FA implementation has made it impossible.

      I’ve never been forced to use 2FA except on GitHub. I just ditched it and went to Codeberg.

        Ah, lucky. All the banks around me seem to require it now. My kingdom for an independent authenticator they’d accept!
