Big brother just got a little bigger with the help of corporate America.
A new bombshell report by the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) has blown the lid off of the “vast, secretive” partnership between private companies and the federal government to surveil and track the movements of millions of people.
According to the EFF, the Biden Regime’s alphabet agencies, including ICE, the FBI, US Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as state and local law enforcement, are being funneled hordes of private cell phone location data by private brokers who harvest the information.
This is the same tactic that Gregg Phillips, Catherine Engelbrecht, and True The Vote used for their investigation into the mail-in ballot dropbox fraud during the 2020 election. The cell phone location data collected by this group was used to identify the network of Democrat operatives who committed mass election fraud, as seen in the recently-released documentary “2000 Mules.”
Well, unfortunately – yet, predictably – the strategy has quickly been turned against the American people for the benefit of the DC Swamp.
Using similar data brokers, the feds are now able to purchase millions of records en masse about the private location of law-abiding citizens – which, surely, is something that should amount to a serious violation of our right to privacy under the 4th amendment. However, many apps on mobile devices actively track and record a user’s location at all times, which the federal government takes full advantage of.
Once a user allows an app access to their location, the company essentially has “free reign” to share the data with nearly no restrictions. Once it is harvested, the government comes along and buys the data in bulk and uses it in surveillance operations, according to the

I carry one for work. I’m sure FedGov has the number, since I’m an outspoken gun owner.
Something new ....

Just think they could use this data to determine how many miles you drive a year for tax purposes. Since they are pushing electric, they will need a replacement for the gas tax.

Just like the ArcaneOS phones..
I know it’s hard but lets going without social media on our phones. I use my phone for emergency’s and family. Other than that
i keep it my pocket. I don’t need that crap. If they what to track me, i’m on the Freeper or Whatfinger. That is it!
If you can't reach me ... you ain't supposed to. I'm positively GA GA about my privacy!!
On android (can’t say for iphones), you generally need to accept certain conditions to be able to utilize an app. The app’s usage of tracking data is likely included in the agreement and by using the app, you have agreed to that usage.
All they’ll discover about my cell phone is that it sits in a desk drawer at least 99% of the time. And I’ve never put any app on the thing, either.
Of course, this will probably be considered evidence that I’m concealing some sort of nefarious white-supremacist activities.
So what. That doesn’t change the fact that the government does not have a warrant.
I hope that they spend lots of money and lots of time trying to find my ‘tracks’. . . . . . . Hey! I’m over here! 🕵️♀️
No, there are more who don’t carry a phone than just you.
Creepy President Retard - Spying on Americans Better 🤪
Or Russia, Russia, Russia collusion!
No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the Aamerican sheeple will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
However, why can't everyone just stop making noise with their chains...
No and it’s not going to get better any time soon.
Go to a Walmart. Put your cellphone in one of their small cheap microwave ovens. Have a friend call your phone number. If the phone in the microwave rings, go on to the next small microwave and try again.
When you find a microwaves that stops your phone from ringing - buy it and leave it in your car to ‘carry’ your phone. As long as you don’t take the phone out of the microwave you can’t be tracked (well, unless you have a ‘smart car’ )
If you CCW it’s unwise to not also carry a phone because your life will get a lot more complicated if you’re involved in a shooting and someone other than you is the first to be identified as the victim. Crims rarely report themselves to police so being the first to report the shooting is a good first step to establishing your victimhood, which is a good first step to preserving your liberty.
The catch is that simply turning off a phone might not completely unpower it. Many phones still pull a little current even when they’re switched off. And since G**gle is Da Debil, it stands to reason that Android phones in particular are wired to betray your anonymity every chance they get.
Removing the battery is a better idea but over time phones with replaceable batteries have got scarcer and scarcer. If your battery isn’t removable you can substitute aluminum foil for a commercial “Faraday cage” bag, provided you use enough foil.
I found that my phone would still ring when I dialed its number when wrapped in a single layer of HD Reynolds Wrap, but not when I added a second layer. So just for good measure I added a third layer, then put the foil bag inside the phone holster and even with three layers of aluminum foil the phone would still fit easily.
If you still can take calls with your D-I-Y Faraday cage, the bag isn’t any good, and if you can’t take calls there’s no reason to put the phone in it and leave it switched on. And switching it off might not completely unpower it but whatever circuits might remain energized have to be very low powered, which means very short range. Shorter still if they’re behind three layers of Reynolds Wrap.
👍
Have multiple available. They work. I have tested several.
