“Then foil isn’t an effective faraday cage, as mentioned. An effect one blocks em signals”

It blocks em signals. I verified and posted my results.

“Most smartphones incorporate GPS, which data is reported to the carrier. “

This system does not access your location.

Really?
I have to explain?

Ok...here goes...

I suggested that the readily available best farady cage in everyone’s home is the microwave.

You replied; “But it’s hard to find a microwave that fits my shirt pocket.”

I responded; “Speaking of strawman comments...Hard to find a holster for a shirt pocket too, but we get around that too.”

I indirectly pointed out that you made an absurd comment, set up only for you to take down in the same comment.

...as though someone would be absurd enough to try to put a microwave in His shirt pocket.

Nobody would do that, or be a big enough moron to try. For suggestion was silly.

...anymore that anyone carries a gun in his shirt pocket...
...and analogy to highlight the strawman claim you made.

But after pointing out your absurd comment I went further by suggesting that there are simple farady cages that CAN be made by looking on the interwebz.

You asked for for me to “please explain” and I hope this helped. =o)

I’d WiFi an EM signal?
I ask because you mentioned that foil doesn’t block WiFi. Henceforth my reply that foil wasn’t effective farady alone.

Why build an api without a design and test build for a client app. Who will buy me lunch when we find out that an Android update adds this to the core set of “tools”. Other countries have already requested this and they are tracking all android users. I belive it naive to assume they would not load it for those who are not paying attention. We know the politics and dreams of Google, Microsoft, Apple, Comcast, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Social media giants.

This is not tinfoil hat territory.
We can pretend this is not the world we live in or we can probe and test obvious threats to our privacy and liberties. I’m in Michigan and do not trust anything government or socials claim - they have not earned my trust and have a long way to go to do so.

Is the cell tower signal an EM signal? I ask because foil blocks my phone from the cell tower.

What kind of an idiot would agree to put 24-7 tracking software on your phone?

Those who do not even know they approve it months or years ago.

There is a design ant there are clients.

This does not ‘track’ you. It does not access your location.

But you posted that your aluminum foil phone deflector beanie idn’t block Wi-Fi

...which IS indeed an EM signal...which you rather conveniently avoided answering that question. Rather, you avoided the question and changed the subject. Like talking to warm Jello on warm summer sidewalk, constantly shape shifting.

Summary...the suggested aluminum foil phone deflector beanie is an.inefficient farady fail.

FRespecfully

WaitMinute! Now I remember you!
The contentious poster from the “all motorcycle riders who ride in a group of for or more are organized criminal elements”

...oh yeah...you’re one obtuse poster I won’t dialog with.
You can debate yourself and your phone beanie, because I’ve had me fill with your nonsense too many times in the past.

Not even worth the typo corrections on this one ha

Good.luck

You know you made that up. Source it or STFU.

What question?

You said foil would not block em signals. The subject matter is cellphone to cell tower EM signals.

Foil will block those EM signals.

I think I referred to motorcycle gangs as an organized criminal element. Which gang are you in?
