I can’t find any articles on it at this time. However, apple recently made it so that find my works with the phone off. My phone gives me warnings about this when I shut it down.
i don’t personally use them, but avoid revealing your location when you go places you don’t want to be tracked. avoid spying on you on more sensitive times where you might not want to. take it out after you are done.

I use GrapheneOS and for safety reasons, when I know I won’t get a call, or if I have to travel somewhere discreet, I’ll use one :P Works well for me!

i dunno if i should trust one of the agencies that makes it necessary for us to have a faraday cage to tell us whether or not we should use them.

Right, but if it’s compromised what’s a faraday cage going to do? As soon as you remove it from the cage it’ll reveal your location.
