Did you know that both Google and Apple use WiFi SCANNING (Triangulation) AND NOW BLUETOOTH SCANNING (from contact tracing) on your phone to locate and track you AND THOSE NEARBY every second that you have the phone with you? This still happens even when you have denied location access, have WiFi turned off and even when you think your phone is entirely switched off. It is not.

Did you know that if you've been to a protest this tracking (and SIM card imsi-catchers such as Stingray - hence the helicopters or heavily packed rucsacs) have been used to identify your presence there?

THE NEWEST THREATS ARE AMAZON, RADIOWAVES AND ULTRASOUND. Your Bluetooth which is a radiowave - (that's now always on for apple and google thanks to contact tracing whether you have an app for that OR NOT!) has been hijacked without your knowledge nor authorisation to become a MESH NETWORK. Capable of collecting and sending data between all kinds of devices (speakers, TV's, doorbells, lightbulbs, thermoststs etc.) WITHOUT THE INTERNET. Bluetooth LE can reach half a mile. Don't forget, you are paying for the power to these devices too! Amazon's network is live NOW. It's called Sidewalk. You can disable your permission in your account (supposedly) BUT can you be sure it's turned off. Apple will do this with airtags too. A DEGOOGLED DEVICE IS ABLE TO KEEP THE BLUETOOTH OFF and so is excluded from these networks.

Did you know that the Facebook app (among others) accesses this data - again without your explicit PERMISSION to track you and personally identify you and those you meet? CREEPY EH? I can personally confirm this has happened to me.

Now you know why Google Street View cars were sneakily scanning for all broadcasting WiFi routers as they mapped the world. This was unlawful in the EU, Google were fined Billions, the EU kept YOUR compensation. Today the scanning is done by your device - see above. Now you know the real reason that phone batteries are no longer removable.
