True enough, but can you more closely follow the format of OP for my amusement? I cut the part about collection centers for rhythm ;)
Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 3 days agothe antennae inside it radiate, sending signals to your carrier. Maybe don’t do this while living under fascism. Everyone in the corporations or government can hear your very intimate or business-related conversation.
No they don’t. Not by snooping on your cellphone’s radio signals anyway: the transmission to your carrier is encrypted.
The bad guys can intercept your convo in a MITM attack by simulating a tower and getting your phone to connect to it. But they don’t even have to do that: all it takes is subpoenaing your carrier and they’ll hand you over to them like a pig on a spit.

There’s this talk, where researchers found major cellular networks decrypting people’s conversations at the tower then broadcasting them unencrypted to the entire continent:
