Since AI will make it harder to hide, it's important to be clean when using the internet. That way even if they ever decide to pin something on you eg. saying retarded shit on Zig Forums like "yeah good idea lets murder people or be terrorists" to neutralize you, they can't do so easily.
Another exploit they can use (if they have access to ISP logs) is meta data from Tor usage. Eg. you start using Tor at about 6:00am every night, and at 6:05am there is only one person posting at Zig Forums for 30'. Then the moment the posting stops, you close Tor and start browsing the internet normally. Juicy meta data.

It's fucking true, I get Google ads on my phone not rooted, no computer, bigger priorities from things I talk about when it's in my pocket. I put it on airplane mode now if it's on me and not in use, assuming I need it on for something.

Because it's tapped at the network level.
Some of us have known this like forever.

I think such devices are already being developed. Be careful though, do not trust VPNs with your life (or freedom) neither free nor paid.

this thread isn't about network surveillance, user, though you are correct.
it is about local surveillance, like talking in private and having your phone listen in.
i don't even have smartphone and i take these precautions*:
- remove gps chip
- remove network chip
- remove speakers
- remove microphone
- remove camera
- delete/dameage/rename relevant system files (difficult with rom phones)
- remove sim and battery after every use
- never store contact info
- never say names of people or places
- never share other personally identifiable information
+ use mic/speaker headphones for calls
+ communicate using seperate text2speech device so voice is never recorded
and i do this on a new phone in a new location for each contact, which is really ony some work friends, and they do the same.
i also never talk to anybody with a phone, smartwatch, or other computer on them.
i carry a card that explains it so i don't leak my voice upon inquiry, and i carry trrs plugs snipped from headphones and gift to them so they can start the journey to privacy in this cypherpunk distopian future we find ourselves in.
