This is intended to be a multipart series on who’s spying on your phone. There are multiple parties spying on your phone. There are multiple pieces of data being captured. And there are multiple technologies used for spying. This is a very deep discussion on this and in subsequent videos, we will dig in in more detail.
Here comes a new tracking device once again misused for evil purposes. The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) was initially developed for phones to allow for immersive games where you tilt and twist and shake the phone as game input. Then it moved it to being used for fitness by tracking the amount of physical activity you do and count your steps. But no sensor goes unobserved by the evil ones who will take advantage of these to track your every move.
Find out what the IMU sensor can do and how it can affect you. Find out how this can be evaded or if it can be evaded at all.
There are two options to get some privacy when using mobile phones. These are Linux Phones and AOSP (De-Googled) Phones. Which are better?
These two types of devices operate on different privacy principles and this video gets into how one type of device deals with data exclusion while the other approach deals with data disinformation.
Linux Phones can be Ubuntu Touch (Nexus 5, Oneplus One), Pinephone (Ubuntu Touch, Debian/Phosh, Nemo/Sailfish, etc.), Librem 5 (Phosh, Ubuntu Touch) and many new ones coming out soon.
AOSP (De-googled) include LineageOS with No GAPPS, /e/ Foundation. GrapheneOS, and my own BraxROM. These are all fine. They just use different devices. All have no Google on them and are built in a similar way.
What are these binary blobs that make your phone unsafe? Find out some real dangers with proprietary closed source drivers that are part of every phone and cannot be removed. It puts every single phone at risk.
The critics are out and some people are saying that Linux phones have no chance of gaining traction. I’ll be discussing why the naysayers think Linux phones will not survive and let you know what I think. I’ll talk about the possible source of demand and the headwinds to the Linux mobile projects.
I just ordered my Pinephone from Pine64. This is the Braveheart edition and it is slated to arrive in December! Let’s talk about what you can do with this phone and what you cannot since it doesn’t come with an OS for this early adopter series. Let’s see what they did different from Purism and the Librem 5.
Apple released a new ad program that has the headline ‘Privacy. That’s Iphone’. We will debunk this in this video because it is disinformation. iPhone does not protect your privacy and it is a marketing gimmick.
Watch my in-depth and technical analysis of why their claim is false. And it is not to say that Android is any better either.
Edward Snowden goes on Joe Rogan’s Podcast to talk about technology and privacy.
Comparing the Librem 5 vs Pinephone specifications. Also a comparison against an iPhone. Discussion of UBports Ubuntu Touch. And Linux Convergence. Finally we have some new options coming up with surveillance free phones. The first of their kind. Which one would you choose? The $700 Librem 5 or the $150 Pinephone?
Your phone is vulnerable. There are 4 backdoors that you cannot defend against. All under the control of Nation-States. Find out what these backdoors are. This is a two part video. This is part 2. At the end of the video we also have a discussion of some defenses that can be applied to mitigate the effect of the exploits.
