And what do these people get from me?

:twisted: My room's curtains, my guilty pleasures, a few giggles from my friends and how much I like my chocolates?


It doesn't matter if I'm the careful one.
I'm already surrounded by people who are not.

The best thing to do is turn off NFC. Hackers can bump into you and steal your data.

I was gang-staked through my mobile phone.
Simply switching it off still allows gang-stalking.
You need to take out the battery of your mobile phone.
If you don't have a phone where you can take out the battery, and you are targetted for gang-stalking, you are stuffed. 8O

When I'm not using my phone, it is either stuffed inside a belt-pouch or glove compartment (using the vehicle's hands-free feature) or sitting in front of a radio speaker on my desk.  In any case, there is a "Zuckerberg Dot" (an adhesive patch) covering each of the camera lenses until I need them.

It doesn't eliminate eavesdropping, but who would really want to tap my phone just to listen to my typing or to a news/traffic/weather radio station that they can tune in for themselves?

I think my phone isn't actually spying on me and I tink that's the case for most people too. The way I see it, despite what the government doing being very questionable, what can they do with the quantity of data should they record everything that everyone does on their phone every minute of every year?

Amazing supercomputers aside, that much data will drive an entire army of people analysing it into a dribbling mental wreck after a few days.

What is more likely is that any software designed to eavesdrop will only be used against very specific people when needed despite a lot of people having their phones backdoored.

"They" know where you are.
"They" can follow you.
"They" can rob your house when they know you are away.
"They" can plant things in your house, when you are away.
"They" can set you up for a fake car crash.
EEP! 8O

There are *lots* of things they can do if they know where you are. 8)

My phone’s battery has been dead for several days, I’d be very surprised if it’s spying on me :lol: Speaking of, I really ought to get it on the charger...
