    What we need is a phone mode that disconnects from the cell network periodically when not in use, then bounces back up to check for notifications. Obviously this mode wouldn’t be good for people who need to be available by phone, but who calls nowadays? ;)

      Your survival kit:

      Empty GrapheneOS Pixel 6a bought with cash that isn’t your daily driver (last Pixel with snapdragon chip that allows IMEI changes)

      JMP.chat

      Silent.link

      Sensors off (developer options)

      Bluetooth/WiFi/NFC off

      Offline maps/airplane mode when navigating/at destination

      Infrared AND polarized license plate covers

      IR blocking lens sunglasses for facial recognition

      And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without the tor browser over a trustworthy VPN

      So yeah fuck the police

    Thus, for the time being, if you’re in the US or some other nation that has issues with women’s health, do not take your phone to the abortion clinic with you, or turn it off and stuff it in a Faraday cage until you’re at least a block away.

      That’s not enough, a better idea is to, somehow, poison the location data. Otherwise by disabling location tracking you still leak the information that you are going to a clinic.

        Or you can disable it from time to time at random when you’re doing something innocuous, and obscure the pattern that way. Which is probably easier for the average person than figuring out a second method of tampering with their phone.

          You can’t, even when you disable location it still keeps track of where you are with cell towers and some GPS. It just doesn’t tell you that it still is collecting data.

            Leave your phone at home sometimes, and when you need the abortion, just do that!

            As in, every time you go on a walk, leave your phone at home, and then they lack of data will just be normal.

            I didn’t mean disable it in software, I meant physically disable it by stuffing the phone in a Faraday cage (you can buy them for phones in the form of pouches with metal worked into them), which blocks electromagnetic radiation and therefore prevents the phone from contacting towers or satellites.

      Maybe clinics should start mailing out Faraday pouches ahead of appointments?

      I’m sure they don’t need the extra expense but this is fucked up.

        They could just work that into the cost of service. So you make an appointment and it costs whatever amount it costs. And that cost also includes the mailing to you of a Faraday bag.

    Conservatives have already said that they want to inspect children’s genitals, so it’s only a matter of time until they start saying that they want to regularly inspect women’s genitals as well to “protect unborn children” (read: control women and fulfill their sick fetish)
