Your Phone Is Not Listening to You - Truth Is Much Worse

Everyone thinks their phone is listening to them. The researchers who tested it found no evidence of that. What they DID find is worse. Your phone doesn't need a microphone. Your carrier has been selling your location data for years. Apps are taking hidden screenshots of your screen. Behavioral algorithms can predict what you want before you consciously know you want it. In this video, I cover: What's actually happening (it's not the microphone) Every layer of protection, from five-minute changes to flashing a new OS on a phone you bought with cash The privacy carriers and anonymous eSIMs nobody talks about The mistakes people make with all of these tools that completely undo the privacy they think they have This video took 5 months to put together. I bought a Pixel 7 Pro, a junk-tier Motorola, and paid for Cape for three months to actually test this stuff for you. Use the chapters if you just want one section.
