What is AT&T doing at 1111340002?That is what SIM expert David Allen Burgess asked when he found secret records of phone activity that the user had no idea about. Welcome to the magical world of proactive SIMs - SIM cards that send data off your phone without you or your phone's operating system knowing. There is no public documentation about these messages, there's no way to see all the information in the messages, and the cell companies won't talk about it. Are SIM cards more vulnerable than we'd thought?Huge thank you to David Allen Burgess for his time and expertise!

"Ultimately the only real solution ... is to stop using platforms and start using protocols, things like Ghost and Odysee and places like that. There is no CEO that you can sufficiently pressure into deplatforming somebody. It just technologically can't be done because of how decentralized blockchain is."That is what Glenn Greenwald said in an interview with me this week, but he also recognized that he's not sure these protocols are pervasive and user friendly enough yet. Greenwald has been embracing the world of alternative media platforms recently, building one of the most successful Substacks, where he sends regular articles directly to his subscribers without fear of censorship. 00:00 Intro00:14 The Fourth Estate05:12 Government Control of the Narrative11:34 The Migration to Alternative Media20:06 The Ultimate Solution to CensorshipGlenn Greenwald was central to the publication of the Snowden revelations, was awarded the 2013 George Polk Award, and his journalism led to The Guardian and The Washington Post winning a Pulitzer Prize. In 2014, he launched The Intercept with Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, and was co-founding editor until he resigned in October 2020 over censorship.Since then has been publishing on Substack, an online newsletter-based journalism platform, which you can find here: https://greenwald.substack.com/Huge thank you to Priv8 for inviting me to moderate this discussion!

(Note: graphene only works on Pixel phones, if you have a non pixel phone you can instal lineage, but it’s a more complicated process)Google is all over our phones. The amount of data that they’re collecting about us is astronomical, regardless of whether we’re using an iPhone or an Android.But why does it matter if Google knows so much about us? First, that data is being siphoned up by governments: Not just the US government, but governments all over the world. While we’re probably not doing anything wrong, what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” today may not be tomorrow. Regimes come and go, culture changes, but that data is forever.Second, carving out some privacy in our digital lives is important. Surveillance has dramatic effects on a society: We self-censor and conform when we know we’re being watched.Luckily there are lots of ways that we can protect our data so that it’s not all collected and stored in a permanent record attached to our identity.I went to a “de-google your phone” install party the other weekend, where we learnt how to install a new operating system on our phones that will better protect our privacy. We installed “GrapheneOS”, a privacy and security-enhancing phone operating system recommended by Snowden. We also downloaded some awesome google-alternative apps. In this video I’ll teach you how to do this too. (NOTE: GRAPHENE ONLY WORKS WITH PIXEL PHONES)00:00 Intro02:29 What is GrapheneOS?03:51 Install Tutorial07:44 Alternative to Google apps11:02 My takeaways11:25 Purchasing a pre-installed Graphene phoneDifficulty level for this tutorial:1.5/3It is actually not that difficult to live a Google-free lifestyle, enjoying almost all the things you would normally do on your phone, without compromising your privacy.Huge thank you to members of Boston Zcash for their help organizing this de-googling installation party, Kieran from Railgun for his help with research, and the many other privacy experts I consulted!I’m considering offering phones on my website with graphene and all the core apps that I use preinstalled.
