Comment on Location tracking of phones is out of control. Here’s how to fight back.

I have my location turned off for everything and keep mine in a Faraday bag.

It feels good when I have to use it and, for a moment it says “no service”, like kicking the tech assholes in the dick.

  That’s good. I wasn’t even aware such a thing existed, but thankfully I know now.

Do you have a recommendation for a Faraday bag? I am looking to get a few.

  If your phone is in a Faraday bag how would you get phone calls?

    You won’t, it’s a conscious trade off. Some people never put a sim or esim in their phone and have a separate dumb phone for calls, or separate hotspot
    
    This vide explains the trade offs, reason, and approach of havjng a separate device for data: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyirQOCUUK8
    
    And this guy shares his approach of not having a sim: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dei2buz1X0

  Just that the cheap ones suck. I got a two-pack from Walmart and the first one I used started falling apart in weeks.
  
  I’d get one handmade off Etsy. They’re a little pricier, but the less expensive ones are garbage.
