I saw this on infinity for Reddit earlier, I don't know if there's a workaround for this or not.

They talk as if they're protecting our privacy when it's really a global surveillance net. The spin doctoring is insane.

Friendly reminder that Bluetooth has a larger network stack than Wi-Fi. Much more code, much larger available attack base. There have been many numerous Bluetooth vulnerabilities that allow remote code execution or theft of files.

This is truly becoming a surveillance state, in no way that can be debated. That want to be able to access everyone's innermost thoughts (texts, notes, recordings, calendars, contacts, photos, you get it) without any chance of someone being able to protect against it.

Reminder that Google was the 2nd or 3rd company to commit to NSA's PRISM program of feeding American's data for future analysis.

I really don't disagree with you, but it's so frustrating and tiring to try to work around all this stuff and use alternative tools that nobody else does, all while you're viewed as a paranoid tinfoil hat wearer. Yes I know I shouldn't care what other people think, but I also don't want to be alone forever.

Find a good girl that doesn't mind. Mine doesn't care at all, she has her interests and I have mine. I'll sit there and listen to her 5 minute lectures on makeup and perfumes, and every once in a while I'll tell her about a vulnerability or something cool I found, and I know she's paying as much attention as I do about makeup, but at least I can understand the basics of makeup without years of experimentation and learning.

True, it makes it harder to stay secure when people around you don't care or don't know how, but its still possible. Just have to set some solid boundaries sometimes.

maybe humanity shouldn't have written so many dystopian cyberpunk books and pieces of media, gave us all the wrong ideas :|

Maybe we shouldn't have handed our fucking lives over to corporations

Maybe they're not ours til every single corpo is dead, and you should fight like the fucking dead to make this happen?

I dunno.

Straight up 1984 Newspeak, where the Ministry of Truth is really concerned with lies, the Ministry of Peace is concerned with war, the Ministry of Love is concerned with torture, and the Ministry of Plenty is concerned with starvation.

It's honestly Doublethink.

Whenever Google gets exposed for bad practices, people ignore it. And they believe this stuff is good or don't care.

Bruh, so when android phones are turned off they'll still waste energy locating people and sharing the location. And most phones don't have a removable battery! Fucking nuts.
