For those saying, "just leave your phone at home."

Leave your phone, dog, car, wallet, smart watch, hearing aids, headphones, and any other potentially “smart” / Bluetooth devices at home. If it can respond to a signal, like an RFID card in your wallet, then it should stay home.

You should have an RFID blocking wallet regardless of this tech existing.

Been hearing this for fifteen years now, it is just so niche a threat that people shouldnt have those horrible wallets in reality.
The stalker info is coming from all the devices and the rfid blocking wallet is blocking reading of cards.

What makes them horrible? I like my no-profile wallet. I don't want cards being readable through them. That's the point

More power to you, I think they are fairly silly given the risk. Its like wearing velcro shoes to stop people who intentionally step on your laces..
I am sure there are nice ones, I'd use one if I found a nice one but only because I like it not because of its features.

In fact, forget the hookers and blackjack...

Or get faraday pouches for them. Or you can wrap in aluminum foil in a pinch. Or an all metal pot, through the stuff in there.

Exactly! Our freedom is still good!

Then you can't use it anyway, and the fascists have won.

Yes and no though. What most people would consider off isn't. At least on iPhone it just disconnects but still transmits with quick settings disabled. Like Apple is part of the system even though people say they are not.

I dont know if I believe the RFID tags. How are they getting them to transmit? Sure everything else on their list is sending a signal but RFID needs power.

Flock is still way worse than this, because you can just leave your phone at home but you cant leave your face.

The only way to get the general public to care about this stuff is to make a FOSS alternative for stalkers.

As a stalker, I like how you think 🥵🙃

What the fuck is up with that guy's face?

Louis is warning you about government spying and your rude ass makes it about his looks.... What's wrong with you?

Oh, your screen just turned off. Just tap it again and the scary man will disappear.

He’s busy getting fucked in the arse 24/7 so that you don’t have to, then goes and helps defend your right to own the shit you bought. That’s the face of a man of the people.

What's wrong? To me he looks a bit tired reporting on one another Torment Nexus we built.

He has chronic sleep issues, and still gets a ton of shit done. What's your excuse?
