Friendly reminder that your phones are always listening to you and storing a recording 'in the cloud'.

Ideally, I recommend a Pixel phone with Graphene OS installed.

For other things you can do to make yourself more anonymous online, check out this guide.

My tin foil hat is looking less goofy these days.

I've been using GrapheneOS on my pixel 7 for the last 3 months. Works perfectly.

You're an imbecile if you are still in denial about this at this point.

Anyone that believes your phone is sending every sound it receives to the cloud knows absolutely nothing about data storage and transfer.

It would require more storage than the entire rest of the internet combined, would horribly tax both internet and cell infrastructure, and 99% of it would be useless noise. You might get that with targeted surveillance, but we're not all being targeted like that.

What's far more likely is that your phone is doing semantic analysis on what you're saying all the time and reporting that data. It's much less data, much easier to keep track of, provides actionable insights at scale, and would be far more useful to an oppressive regime. Your phone isn't sending recordings of your conversations, it's sending metadata about all your conversations.

do you know if turning off microphone access actually does anything? im assuming my phone is always listening as long as it's got a charge. same with location.

It's good to be careful, we should all be reevaluating our personal security. But it's bad to mistake paranoia for certainty.
