Episode notes
Share Location On Signal For Occasional Needs
- Send one-time location shares over Signal for occasional tracking needs instead of continuous tracking.
- Use platform uniformity (all iOS or all Android) to simplify privacy choices when possible.
Anonymous SIMs Don't Stop Tower Tracking
- Buying an anonymous SIM only removes the registration link, not tower-based location data.
- Cell towers and usage patterns can re-identify you even without your real name on file.
Separate Identity From Mobile Service
- Avoid tying your mobile service to your real identity when privacy matters; register anonymously where feasible.
- Combine anonymous registration with encrypted apps (Signal) and VPNs to reduce exposed metadata.
