Literally no.

You can go back now.

There's a reason why Stallman refuses to carry a cell phone. It's because they track people and record people.

You should only use a phone as a decoy, place it far away from you and they will never find you. Also, you have to go back.

Use HTTPS and Tor.

Turn off GPS and location info sending options.

If you used 4chan post 2017 you clearly don't care about security.

If you used 4chan post captcha you didn't care about privacy.

By design, phones tell networks where they are, so you aren't private from ISPs unless you killswitch / battery remove / Faraday cage or necuros that shit.

Furthermore, unless you run a custom ROM, google or apple are so far up your ass you can't get them out. Its like AIDS except there's a cure for those who try hard enough. But most of the usable ones (eg. lineageos) are mitigation, treatment rather than cure.

Who do you want to be private from!

What's illegal?

>>1049288 (OP)

Didn't read. Go back.

Don't use them or use the dumbest phone you can get.

It's illegal to create electronics that produce radio signals when it doesn't comply with the FCC

>>1049288 (OP)

I don't give a shit about mobile networks

>>1049391

You do realize that without controls, absolutely nobody can use radio communication when there are spammers congesting the space with their radio spam.

Speak for yourself you waste of space.

No.

The paradox of Glow In The Dark.

>>1049288 (OP)

Is your threat model,

worried about location data?

Don't use a cellular device

worried about snooping?

Don't use cleartext services, instead:

Signal (if you have a phone number)

XMPP+OMEMO

Matrix+OLM

need video/audio? ZRTP

>>1049391

I have to be careful and not allow my custom firmware enabled routers to broadcast on channel 14 for just such a reason.

Yeah, but we moved YEARS ago, when moot cucked out to an sjw cunt.

>Hey /tech/, yes Im "from" 4chan and so are 95% of you fucks

No... You're from Reddit you fucking trans faggot

>>1049288 (OP)

The carriers and manufacturers have the majority of control over the networks used, the software and hardware of the phones etc, so I don't really see modern cell phones being privacy or security oriented devices.

use orbot and orfox on your phone

disable all google shit

>i'm from 4chan

Way to kill your own thread, op.

You could've legit had a real thread about security on mobile devices or atleast alternatives to (((mobile))) that respect privacy, but you instead decided to kill it with this one opening statement.

also this.

There is a lot you can do, but nothing beats not owning a phone.

Famously snowden demonstrated how to "secure a phone". He starts with the presumption, that it is compromised. (Which on the level of Intelligence agencies is the case anyway) and removes and entry points of information they can collect, up to a point where he can set boundaries.

Cameras, physically removed, microphone, physically removed. He carries a micro-usb plugin microphone for phone calls.

Radios inside? Well, here you hit a brick wall. Ultimately you can't hide if you are truly tracked by someone. So what have you achieved?

A zone of privacy, that extends o sightline. He can be geographically tracked, but his phone does not allow you to get information of something happening in close proximity. (Eg. Voice recordings)

That is how you deal with it. Set a boundry you wish to enforce and work towards it. Can you go invisible? Not in everyday life. But you can limit what information you bleed, at least in a 10 Meter radius.

Tl;dr

It isn't

>It's illegal to create electronics that produce radio signals when it doesn't comply with the FCC

Yes, which has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not it's open sores or whatever. Once you've got a working product (hardware+software), submit it to the FCC or your other nation's spectrum regulator, and apply the certification # they provide to anything you give end users.

>The carriers and manufacturers have the majority of control over the networks used

Not to as great an extent as is commonly imagined. In the case of GSM, for instance, all you need is a compatible baseband with a valid SIM card installed, and you have access. The main problem is simply that nobody has bothered to spend the money/autism to make an open baseband, aside from one ancient 2G chipset from Texas Instruments that was reverse-engineered a while ago:
