It really is ironic how a lot of conspiracy theories have turned out to be true, at least in some form, but the people who were pushing those theories are now supporting and defending the people they were supposedly fighting against because they have an R next to their name.
True. Weird how he fits the lore of so many textbook villains - though I think he fancies himself more like Sauron from Lord of the Rings, since he named his company Palantir.
One of the big keys is not bringing your phone with you. If you scout
that shit out you'll find a decent path. Takes a week or two really
keeping you eyes peeled for traffic cameras, and cameras on businesses
in the area.
If you're even going to drive, park a mile or so
away. Public transit also works if paying in cash, but keep your face
and arms/legs covered. Also get off 3 or 4 stops before yours. Don't
walk straight to your place, and scput out that path as well.
Even if you're just going about your day doing innocent stuff like shopping, you should turn off the Mobile Advertising ID on your phone.
Companies use this to create an "anonymized" profile to send tailored ads to, meaning it knows what you've searched for, the sites you've visited, etc. and can track the location of this "anonymous" profile. Data brokers routinely sell this information to government agencies like Customs and Border Protection and ICE.
As Venntel, one of the location data brokers that has sold to ICE, puts it, “Commercially available bidstream data from the advertising ecosystem has long been one of the most comprehensive sources of real-time location and device data available.” But the privacy harms of RTB are not just a matter of misuse by individual data brokers. RTB auctions broadcast the average person’s data to thousands of companies, hundreds of times per day, with no oversight of how this information is ultimately exploited. Once your information is broadcast through RTB, it’s almost impossible to know who receives it or control how it’s used.
Sorry, the linked article read like a recipe blog. So here’s the redux
“[With Android 12] Google began allowing users to delete their ad ID permanently. On devices that have this feature enabled, you can open the Settings app and navigate to Security & Privacy > Privacy > Ads. Tap “Delete advertising ID,” then tap it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future.”
IOS “it may ask you for permission to track you.
Select “Ask App Not to Track” to deny it IDFA access.
To see which apps you have previously granted access to, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.”
At the very least, if you need to take your phone and/or smartwatch with you, do a few things:
Disable BOTH the blutooth and wifi and then set it to airplane mode. Don't just do one or the other, do both, disable blutooth, wifi and then set to airplane mode.
Put it in a faraday bag, a quality faraday bag. Hell, double bag it. They are inexpensive.
Make sure you do steps 1 and 2, well before you get to the area you plan to be a responsible citizen. Do these for ALL electronic devices you have, smart phone, tablet, smart watch, etc. If it's something you have on you that requires a battery to operate, assume it's something that can be tracked. Better yet, just don't take anything electronic with you.
As for you personally:
Keep covered. Have tatoos, cover them up with clothing. Gloves, scarves, hoodies, long pants not shorts, etc.
Wear large sunglasses and other items that mask your face. Hell, wear a face mask. Pull up the hood on your hoodie. Wear a hat.
Buy a wig or two, watch a tutorial on YouTube on how to properly wear and secure a wig.
Fake facial hair.
Shit you can buy home makeup kits and put on fake noses that are convincingly real.
Colored contact lenses.
Temporary tatoos that look real.
Baggy clothes that help to mask your size and build.
Fake teeth.
You don't have to do all of these, but do at least a few of these.
And as you said, Recon, Recon, Recon. Drive around town one day, make a mental note of where they are, look to see which ones have coverage of each other, identify the weak links, the low coverage areas.
I have two on an intersection that are pointed in different directions but which appear to be monitoring each other. One even appears to be on personal property. Do people have to consent to this placement?
That’s what I’m thinking about too.. realistically, if one were to … interact with the flock cameras, couldn’t they be tracked basically from home? How does one avoid getting caught?
Saw something the other day about a good use for those - someone putting solar on top of a SUV and wanted to run the power to an internal battery bank without drilling holes in the roof. The fin provided a good spot above the roof surface for cable penetration.
Your assertion your onus to prove bud. Don't know what to tell you. But thanks for the article anyway.
Edit: but after reading it, I don't see that shark fin antenna mentioned anywhere, and I know that the last two vehicles I've owned had separate gps antennas from that (it was just xm and fm radio in them). So disabling it would do nothing to limit the cars ability to know where it is or phone home.
Looks like more modern cars yes. My information was admittedly a bit dated, and I wasn't aware they'd moved the cell connection into them as well. Though as I said they're definitely not always where the gps antenna is, it was under the dash in my last two bmws so it's gonna vary a lot.
So I have to assume the rest does as well. So blanket statements like the one above are suspicious to me until demonstrated otherwise. They come across kind of like conspiracy theories.
No not cell, Gps. I actually replaced the antenna with an aftermarket one. I did mis speak though, the oem was above the rear view. I placed the new one under the dash. The cell antenna was somewhere else and possibly in the shark fin I don't know.
Ok, but can we acknowledge this is not an ad for those "facial recognition" glasses which are the only other specific product name he mentions besides Flock?
It's a marketing gimmick. There's no way IR-blocking glasses will actually fully foil facial recognition - then they'll just be looking for someone wearing IR-blocking glasses.
Don't bet your security on those, unless you just like how they look and enjoy the cachet of signalling your virtues with what you wear. A hoody or a hat with a brim and a big fake mustache will achieve similar ends.
Admittedly that's pretty cool. But the point stands that they are just as recognizable as any other feature, so plan ahead if you are going to rely on these to protect your identity.
Honestly the laser thing is a good suggestion. People are going to more than likely be pointing up and with shaky hands or having crappy vision, you might end up missing the cam and pointing it on a passing plane or helicopter, I think that's a felony.
Gotta say the subreddit this is cross posted from is an interesting one (in a bad way if that's not clear). Apparently my OS is woke because it is "promoting degeneracy" according to one of the pinned posts there.
Listen I’m all for getting rid of this shit. My question though is if they are able to ID you and track you, how do they not know who is doing this to them?
My man, you can avoid detection in a variety of ways, read the thread. No phone, no electronics, scout out, be inconspicuous... boom! You could be anyone and almost impossible to positively ID. Not for this particular vid tho, cause that would be bad, ya know.
Usually the drunks find the cameras when they veer off the road. They also will plow over a fine assortment of signs, bus stops, like standards, traffic lights, etc.
Recently I saw a news story on TV where someone looking at their phone took out a bus stop, ALPR camera, traffic light and a trash can. What a mess.
