Elysium

I re-watch from time to time to check where we’re at.

if this is used, or there is some whitelist that gives permission for background microphone use in voice interaction services, apps with tracking capabilities probably use some set of predefined keywords (hardcoded inside the app itself) and those can be triggered while being on standby/in background, when there is a match some pinging goes to outside servers…

Probably because of this and this

… and with the help of inflation hack

take a look at this and this

That’s disappointing, they should mandate obligatory WhatsApp use country wide.

He got shot and he says “let me get my shoes” wtf? Didn’t he notice that somebody (supposedly) wanted him dead?

here it is, no need to click anything:

Mar 25, 2024 —

… the Commission has granted Meta an extension of 6 months to comply with the interoperability obligation (Article 7 DMA)

Because of a “reasoned request” [from META]. … Commission said it’s received and accepted [request] from Meta.

granted because it was:

“necessary to ensure effective interoperability and to maintain the necessary level of security, including end-to-end encryption”.

and after that, there will be another request and so on forever, they have alot of dough to burn.

more details

It is based on NYTimes’ article, it’s archived in here.

I’d recommend you to take a look @ it, peace out

transcribed from video:

I think there are good solutions we can implement to mitigate a lot of the surveillance. And I don’t think the solution is to just lay down and die. If everyone thought like privacy doomers, none of this [privacy related issues] would even be a discussion.

They [pessimists] really just making the world worse place by giving up. And that’s what a lot of pessimism really is, when you dig down deep, just a coping mechanism for covering up the fact that you’re too lazy to take action. All you have to do is take action, instead of doing nothing.

The world needs more people who just care, don’t be a doomer.

You can be a random person walking in a busy metro area and happen to get in range of someone who is scanning for a particular device to use a side-channel attack on. You don’t have to be a POI.

I guess if you’re broadcasting all the beacons your phone can be pawned even if you miss the last month OS update on your latest, greatest, shiny toy. This is just inevitable.

It’s generally best to get a phone that receives software updates and security patches for more than 2-3 years.

See first paragraph again, not everybody is as affluent as you’re, look at the problem from the other perspective

Additionally, threats can come from various sources like:

malicious apps,

will take control of the phone from the inside out, nothing will withstand that

texts,

Pegasus will use 0day, nothing to do about that

USB devices, or physical access,

Once somebody have physical access because you’re some POI and not an average Joe, not much you can do

Choosing a manufacturer that supports phones longer can help reduce these risks over the life of the device.

See first paragraph, parenthesis content. Also phones are made with short lifespan on purpose, this gives steady inflow of money for the manufacturers, only few will give you what you want
