“Note to conservatives: We can, and will find you.”

I’d send a note saying turn off the default settings on apps. Location and various data mining permissions are usually on when you download them.
Some apps data mine anyway. I found my favorite weather app was one of those, sigh. I deleted it.

Snowden’s disclosures showed that it was _hardware_ as well as software that tracked you.

Cell phones are _not_ your friend.

You can be tracked even if you completely power off the phone. I think it was John Stossel who did a show about this 5+ year sago.
