    I mean sure, if you’re fully running a mainline corporate phone and OS, with none of your own privacy or security measures utilized.

    I don’t think its really possible at this point to actually bring your signature and foot print down to literally 0, but you can do a fair deal of uh… privacy hygiene, to minimize those.

    It’s not totally hopeless. You… just have to actually learn how to actually be private, with technology. It’s not easy, but it is also not impossible.

    And that is just passive resistance, becoming un-surveillable, to a meaningful extent.

      It takes a lot of finagling. People like you and me, we can minimize it. Custom Roms, PiHoles, VPN, onionized, etc. But the general joe? No chance.

      I also don’t fully 100% believe that there isn’t technology at this point that renders all of the above moot. We probably just don’t fully know about it all yet.
