Episode notes
Secure Communications Undermine Surveillance Capitalism
- Eric Prince argues that compromised communications historically destroy movements, so building independent secure channels is crucial.
- He developed the Unplugged phone to prevent data export, open-source the OS, and harden devices against backdoors.
Block Data Exfiltration With Hardened Devices
- Use devices that block data exfiltration to prevent apps and brokers from harvesting your digital footprint.
- Choose open-source, hardened phones like Unplugged so you can verify there are no backdoors and you control the keys.
Massive Digital Exhaust Enables Digital Grooming
- Prince highlights the scale of surveillance: consumer phones export vast amounts of data that feed data brokers and AI.
- That digital exhaust enables targeted manipulation and grooming via AI as datasets accumulate.
