What your privacy settings on your smart phone should look like

The authorities/corporations want/need you to use smart phones for all internet related activities, as they collect the data you generate.

The problem there for you or rather your privacy is that this is not the best choice, as the smart phone is a device the leaks data many times a minute 24/7 compared to a personal computer not running Windows or a Macintosh. 

The leaks a even worse with closed source proprietary apps, where your face data, environment recognition, what's on your phone, contacts, voice data and photos are all accessed by the apps.

As a result, if you are truly concerned about your privacy, then you should not use Google (Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, etc) or Apple smart phones, but rather a 'de-Googled' one.

This will help keep your data on your phone, unless of course you install the various social media, games and government apps most people install.

The Advanced Privacy menu is only available on 'de-Googled' phones (Sony, Samsung, Nokia, OnePlus, etc) where an iPhone cannot be 'de-googled' as it does not run Android, but Apple's iOS.

Australia’s largest criminal organisations will now obtain your Optus data, gov decides?

At law, Australia is a colony where (penal) colony mentality of the authorities is practised across the land, e.g. the Andrews government in Victoria proposal to fine Victorian for enjoying nature too much, that being diverting from a track or VLAD law in Queensland.

Australia is not a democratic place but rather a totalitarian state.

In light of the recent Optus data breach, the (colonial) government has decided how to keep your data safe by giving it to banking and financial services institutions to allegedly help combat identity theft.

What they're planning to do is very concerning.

- Your data will be given to multinationals, to multinationals that you may not have wanted to have your private and confidential data.

- The government has also expanded that attack surface on your private and confidential data, by giving it to others, INSTEAD of containing that data.

It’s akin to an action of giving up your guns to criminals, so that they can keep you safe, which is also what happened in Victoria after an ‘incident’ in Tasmania, but that’s another story.

Banks and financial services are one of Australia’s largest while collar criminals, as exposed by the ‘Royal Commission’, where nothing of relevance for the victims has been enacted, where the Commission in reality was a farce.

Remembering it’s not a matter of IF but WHEN those institutions will be breached, and more importantly will they be diligent in reporting the breach as soon as they are aware, as required by law?

Another off-kilter action by the wise MPs (Monkeys in Parliament) in the colony of Australia.

How much battery does your phone use overnight?

Mobile phones have been giving away data to authorities since their inception, as they were never designed to be ‘secure’ in the use case for the ‘general population’ or at the ‘consumer’ level, as shown in the communications protocols.

Along come smart phones, where data collection is taken to the next level, where now there are two levels of data collection.

The first level of data collection comes from the baseband modem which contains a proprietary closed source backdoor designed by the manufacturers, not dissimilar from Intel’s ME (Management Engine) within personal computers.

The next level of data collection is at the application layer where much more data is generated nowadays by the ‘product’, i.e. you.

As time goes on smart phones get larger meaning their screen size and as a consequence the battery size, yet the phone only lasts a day or so, where anything more is a big deal.

Apple and Google’s Android loaded smart phones send data back to home base many times a minute and in Apple’s case even when the phone is off.

To make matter’s worse Google’s Pixel series of phones now monitor your speech 24/7 with Google’s  new A.I. Tensor processor.

Since 2020 a new level of data collection which goes on 24/7 occurred which locates the subject more accurately called WiFi and Bluetooth Scanning in both Apple and Google’s smartphone operating systems.

Smart phone manufacturers, e.g. LG, Motorola, Nokia,  Samsung, Sony etc (except for Huawei) load their phones up with a baseline version of Android called AOSP (Android Open Source Project), then they inject it with Google’s spyware additives.

For quite some time now in order to mitigate the spying on your phone software developers have created methods to install the baseline version of Android without the all the Google ‘goodies’.

As shown in the screenshot above, a ‘de-Googled’ phone used 2% battery in an 8hr period overnight, or approx 0.25% battery loss per hour.

Should you choose to use a de-Googled phone then AOSP developers from e foundation,  LineageOS, GrapheneOS or CalyxOS are a few you could research if it’s right for you.

The blanket data hoovering has nothing to do with terrorism (where that is the 'advertised' excuse) but rather part of the Nanny State agenda.
