So you know in movies, where the good guys discover a tracker and they smash it, and you think they're stupid dumbasses for not putting the tracker somewhere else and playing the bad guys. Well we all have trackers now as we carry around our phones. We know the government has access to this data. But it actually makes us more able to commit crimes undetected - just leave your phone at home ffs, or 'accidentally' leave it in your husband's car for the day.

I mean, if you didn’t realize this after snowden’s revelations, that’s kind of on you.

I personally haven’t brought my phone anywhere outside my house for a decade. Fuck bringing a spying device everywhere. If they want my movements they can do it old school.

Atthe very least, use a Faraday cage, and if that's too hard, turn on Airplane Mode when going out and about.
