I wrote profiling software that pattern matched telephone call records for forensic purposes 20 years ago and want to say that these anti profiling solutions need to be backed up by solid anti-profiling laws. These laws need to make it clear that profiling is and has always been the criminal offence of unauthorised access to data. It is already unlawful in Australia for a person to obtain unauthorised access to data, but the complete hubris of GFAMS starting 2001 in stealing personal information has so stunned the world that legislators have still not been able to fully connect the dots in their brains that covert profiling is the criminal activity of unauthorised access to data, theft, handling and recieving stolen goods, and benefiting from the proceeds of crime. This is regardless of who does it, noting that a court order (warrant) constitutes an authorisation. I don't want to live in fear of a police state but neither do want to fear actual criminality. GFAMS are engaging in actual criminality because their monopolies are being used to extort our information by including a deceptive waiver of rights in their T&C. This creates the illusion that the profiling is authorized. Australian consumer law however already outlaws this as -unconscionable conduct- but the prosecuting authorities are not capable of taking them on without clear laws in the criminal code. Only civil actions are possible, and the courts won't accept the view of people like me and you unless it's supported politically.

Thanks Rob. You hammer home the point about the threats each individual faces in cybersecurity being unique to that person, and I absolutely agree. You've helped me feel confident in the security choices I've decided to make.

If device can't encript & send voice by not GSM/edge/4G/5G networks then any privacy and security is just illusion. Today in 2020 the linux phones with 10-15 unusable apps is just expensive toys for geeks: (

full disk encryption is also available on linux phones now. (postmarketOS has a installer, where you can enable it)
SELinux and similar is something the user has currently to deal with.

Ubuntu Touch is not a good option IMO because Canonical has agreed to share data with Amazon and other big tech companies. Supposedly, you can turn it off. Supposedly.

Having a platform that isn't actively betraying you is step 1. But if you're going to log into everything with your Facebook account, there's not point.

Serious question: does anyone know what phone carriers will carry the Librem 5 phone? Trying to get away from AT&T. Not sure where to look for service.

Quite frankly, because Linux phones are so incredibly rarely used, you are probably easier to track than using de-googled Android.

7: 30 Now with Big Sur they even log what you do every program and every action, so I'm guessing that on iPhone they do the same.
