    Everybody willingly carries a recording device with sound video and GPS tracking in their pockets at all time. Worrying about any kind of surveillance is pointless if you dont leave your ph9ne at home every day.

      Worrying about any kind of surveillance is pointless if you dont leave your ph9ne at home every day.

      It’s not quite as simple as that. The overall point has truth, but one can still use a phone and reduce surveillance, especially if you’re just trying to avoid surveillance capitalism or police surveillance at certain times (e.g. protests). Privacy isn’t binary. Security isn’t binary.
