      Those are the ignorant folks that keep getting hacked and have no idea why. I have friends from work who don’t care as they “have nothing to hide”. Haha, I keep telling them that the only thing I need to hide is my naked body and any private conversations I have with them, where they emit private information, and as their keeper, I like to hide that intel as well.
      They still don’t get it. So ridiculously ignorant and stupid!!!

      An experiment was done several years back. Phone was powered completely off, then a specified route around DC was followed. The phone captured EVERY STOP!
      Then the BATTERY was taken out BEFORE the phone was completely powered off. Another route was followed, and EVERY STOP was recorded! Battery or no battery, your phone knows every place you go.
      “Every move you make,
      Every step you take,
      Every bond you break,
      Every step you take:
      I’LL BE WATCHING YOU.”

      ​​@rede2usetrue, but it seems humanity is bent on making it so and are regressing to repeat our past destructive behaviors as "new' but in fact old ways. It seems instead of learning from history, we think repeating it is the way to go. Only this time the weaponry that can be deployed are a thousand fold more powerful and much more dangerous in the hands of those who have no conscience.

    The insurance rates being raised according to zip code is called red lining…and THAT IS ILLEGAL!

    • @flipnotrab
      @flipnotrab Month ago +13

      FLOCK CAMERA system that is paid for by your local government/police to track your car (and your face) is also being by insurance companies. They, INS CO’s, get all the road and intersection accident data from city/state police, so they know what roads/intersections are most dangerous by actual percentages. Flock cameras are tracking your car daily, thus know your routes and routine. Combine the traffic accident and Flock data. INS CO’s now have reason to raise rates because “you travel MORE dangerous routes/through dangerous intersections” and are a statistical higher risk. Oh, and that scuffed up/dinged up bumper you’ve had for a few years and then got into a fender bender and need a new bumper. Yeah, that was pre-existing damage and isn’t going to be covered. Want to see the hundreds/thousands of Flock pictures that prove it??

    • @richarddecredico6098

    Fun story: My wife and I got married in 2008...sane house every sense. Our water heater broke down week before last. I will preface that with I've never seen anything regarding hot water heaters in all this time. So I'm scrolling through Google Friday night and I see an article about how often you should drain your hot water heater. I've NEVER done any searches on HWHs. So yes, your phone is listening/spying.....even when you think it isn't

      ​@PilgrimFLI think it was a mis-type. Idt ppl realize they can edit their comments after posting. I think they meant to ask why even have an android... well honey, its because Android is more of an open interface as it doesn't lock you into a certain program or brand. Ive had multiple ppl tell me switching to android from apple is either really complicated or impossible depending on what you're transferring. They dont like/want you to leave so they make it impossible or nearly so to be able to CHOOSE between manufacturers.

      Yes and no. It depended on if you said any of the trigger words that made Echelon begin recording the rest of your phone call. If Echelon tagged your phone number three times then you were placed in a file and considered a possible terrorist threat to the U. S. Yes this was going on since the 1980's. Cheers
