As we should know things that “...ain’t right” are not just limited to politics and law but also other areas, such as the global financial markets, the military industrial war machine, health and technology industries just to name a few.
In today’s day and age technology plays a vital role in our everyday lives, where since the internet being made available to the masses and the commercialisation of it, data collection has been the focus of the authorities.
Since the rapid uptake of the smartphone, the authorities have been able to gather more information from people than from any other intelligence gathering methods.
A properly set up personal computer will leak a lot less information than a smartphone, so in order to combat this governments and corporations are ‘enticing’ people to use smartphones with the accompanying app.
There is no real benefit for you to use a news service app as opposed to their website via a privacy centric browser, but they need you to use that app is it’s beneficial for them.
You are pushed towards Apple and Google based smartphones as they are the world’s largest data collection devices, where there is no other real ‘out of the box’ solution for the ‘consumers’ (as opposed to ‘techies’) at this point in time.
A ‘de-Googled’ phone is not something where a person uses DuckDuckGo instead of Google as their search engine, but rather a phone that has been wiped from the manufacturer’s preloaded ‘spyware’ together with a Google modified Android open source operating system.
At the moment there are approx two dozen phone manufacturers that support a ‘de-Googled’ Android operating system, commonly referred to as AOSP (Android Open Source Project).
Apple smartphones are THE worst when it comes to your privacy (not to be confused with ‘security’).
There are a lot of ‘YouTubers’ that talk about ‘tech tips’ or even ‘security’, but all fall far short from what this guy talks about.
The topics that he talks about are less than glamorous, but looking after your online privacy and security is not a glamorous ‘job’.
So called advertising companies are now data collection points for government agencies.
He mentions in this video how an ‘ad company’ used location data on Tesla to commit stock market trading fraud.
Years ago Apple used its stock market app to commit fraud.
This is who you’re giving YOUR data away to.
You are being conned into buying the latest and greatest smartphone technology (which it’s not) by the manufacturers.
Are you willing to change or are you content with giving away your (& others) info?
