Episode notes
Prefer First-Party Or Self-Hosted Location Tools
- Use first-party family location tools (Apple or Android) when possible for better privacy.
- Self-host solutions like OwnTracks are private but require technical setup and hosting.
Share Location On Signal For Occasional Needs
- Send one-time location shares over Signal for occasional tracking needs instead of continuous tracking.
- Use platform uniformity (all iOS or all Android) to simplify privacy choices when possible.
Anonymous SIMs Don't Stop Tower Tracking
- Buying an anonymous SIM only removes the registration link, not tower-based location data.
- Cell towers and usage patterns can re-identify you even without your real name on file.
