Notes on the Celebrity Data Theft

06 Oct 2014 • nikcub.com

There is no privacy mode in phones and they lump together all your data and metadata in one large bucket, and the only solution if you wish to retain a more private or more anonymous profile is to run a separate phone with the account on there belonging to an alias. There is a reason why drug dealers carry multiple phones, it tends to work in terms of segregating your real identity.

I hope we aren’t seriously considering this as best practice for an average user.
