- Phones constantly track location, contacts, and activities without consent.
- Encryption and privacy apps don't fully prevent data leaks due to network architecture.
- Phones broadcast IMEI and location data to towers, stored indefinitely by corporations and governments.
- Powering off doesn't stop tracking unless the battery is physically removed.
- Burner phones are only effective if used with strict operational security.
- Metadata reveals behavior patterns, making deviations or routines identifiable.
- Strategies to reduce exposure include controlled chaos, consistent camouflage, and using WiFi-only devices.
- Extreme measures like going phoneless may be necessary for high-risk individuals.
- Phones are inherently non-private and belong to the network, not the user.
