I'm the Internet Privacy Guy. I'm a public interest technologist. I'm here to educate. You are losing your Internet privacy and Internet security every day if you don't fight for it. Your data is collected with endless permanent data mining. Learn about a TOR router, a VPN , antivirus, spyware, firewalls, IP address, wifi triangulation, data privacy regulation, backups and tech tools, and evading mass surveillance from NSA, CIA, FBI. Learn how to be anonymous on the Internet so you are not profiled. Learn to speak freely with pseudo anonymity. Learn more about the dangers of the inernet and the dangers of social media, dangers of email.

I like alternative communication technology like Amateur Radio and data communications using Analog. I'm a licensed HAM operator.

I grew up when landlines we're party lines. Shared phone service with another. Could hear others conversations. Later could pick up phone calls with a police scanner. So was suspicious of computers early and hearing about covering up camera about 30 years ago.

Again, excellent advice on how to have reasonable privacy in the current situation that tries to remove it from us all. ;-/ Thank you.

I have 3 mobile number for different people I call. How I grade
Super private phone - bank and direct family only
Secondary phone - work calls, friends, buddies, some retail, emergency calls
Third phone (low end) - places and people I don't trust but need to call sometimes, social media, insurance companies, govt depmts
all costs me less than $350 per year

That could be a way round it Rob great detailing on phone numbers, my 2nd number I keep for my docs, medical, any UK retailer or big chain companies.

My 1st number would be my bank, the internet. I also keep multiple bank cards to evade threats, looking forward to your new phone however looking forward to seeing it 💯

Actually, Voice printing is used by the Australian Tax department which also means the Australian Government

I refuse to give Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter or any of these social media sites my phone number. Sadly, Google already has it thanks to my stupid Android phone.

About 5 years ago I was successfully able to gather information of people in public places using public Wi-Fi by using a Wi-Fi pineapple I used the video for educational purposes on Facebook of course it got taken down but it was extremely easy I could even mirror what you were looking at on your phone.

Short answer: *TWO*
One exclusively for 2FA / MFA that is NOT shared with any of your contacts.
One for all your contacts and NOT 2FA / MFA.

If you're a high profile person and being monitored by the state, then remaining anonymous is nearly impossible and requires extreme vigilance.

If you live alone, and are choking, you must call for help from a landline if you want them to find you, otherwise you must give extensive directions to your location. Address, cross streets etc. It's frustrating. You also need multiple numbers so you can call for help when one number isn't working.

Great video, so informative. You are a hero of our times. 👍🍷

@ 15:17 where you talk about voice printing ....in the old cop movies a violator would make a call with a disguised voice. Don't they have that capability now days too ? Wouldn't something like that defeat the voice print ? Probably only a state agency nowdays would have that capability

Thank you Rob.
Sounds like there are really no exits from this prison. No doubt my
"patterns" are well known. They captured us all right from the start, didn't they?
Total evil deviance!

I thought I was beginning to come into this century. But now there are so many things to watch. Thanks and Be Well.

Get a phone with minutes wrather than a subscription. They are like 1 cent a text sometimes unlimited as long as it has minutes.

I don't know about all that but all the sudden every contact on my phone has a q r code. I never downloaded any tracking app or anything of any type. I can only assume it was done during an update? Android

[JamesKelley]

I tried a prepaid phone in the USA and was blocked from using it, the service said that the phone number was not supported. Another time I tried to use a Google Voice number to signup for Uber and Lyft but both rejected the Google Voice number, stating that VoIP could not be used.

Asus cell phones have dual SIM card slots I bought it from their website the Asus rog phone 5 has two SIM card slots thank you for the information I'm definitely going to do that
