Summary: Tracking in Facebook criticised; Malicious features in mobile phones (tracking and listening) are being discussed as well
THIS 84th episode speaks about phones' exploitation for tracking and listening by authorities. For those who are not aware yet, as long as the main battery is inside a phone, or any battery at all is inside a phone (some have several batteries), then even when the phone is switched off it can be used to listen to the carrier and his/her environment. Craig Murray, a former British ambassador, says the MI5 uses this technique.
Android/Replicant are discussed, noting that they do not help resolve the above issue. One listener of TechBytes asked: "Maybe you could ask him [Stallman] about so called smartphones. Everybody knows he doesn't use any... But can he think any condition he could think about using one. Fairphone? Phone with FirefoxOS? Prepaid SIM without registration?" Stallman said he was hypothetically thinking about getting an OpenMoko phone, but eventually decided that tracking would be unavoidable.
"People who work for Facebook / Xitter / Bytedance's Tiktok / Microsoft / Oracle / IBM / Apple / Uber / Lyft / Wolt / DoorDash / AirBnB / Bolt / and so on are doing some world-class projection when they have the audacity to call others Bad People(tm)"
It certainly does seem like they receive money from taxpayers for nothing, or for IBM to do mass layoffs/closure at Albany under the guise of "making a new spinoff"...
If the election is run by platforms that have back doors "baked-in" and if the communications are overseen by GAFAM, you would not have to be a "nutty MAGAt" to dispute the outcome
