    I highly doubt the government knows where I go:

    • older car with no smart crap
    • red light and speed cameras are illegal in my state
    • I use an alternative Android ROM on my phone with a firewall

    That said, I totality agree with your assessment. We need better pedestrian, cycling, and mass transit infrastructure. The problem is that pretty much nobody campaigns on that. Rs campaign on fiscal issues, Ds campaign on “culture” issues, and neither deliver on their promises anyway. I want more trains and more pedestrian/cycling infra, but neither party seems to care…

      But do you sanitize and vet your carrier data?

      Triangulation using cellphone towers is not unheard of and they can subpoena it.

      Then again, a national state actor going against a private entity is rare and the private entity will often lose.

      Same thing with my home cameras, I use unifi because it’s easy and the data is stored locally. That way the police can’t subpoena Amazon or any of the big companies for their cloud data.

      I’m being very facetious. Privacy is a losing battle. You fuckup once, you negate a lot of hard work.
