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.

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