Control is an illusion. The more the system devotes resources toward it the less control it will have. The less bang for its buck it will get out of its spending on it.
What's the paycheck of someone who will smash faces in with a rifle butt for the system? Will it have a great health care insurance package?
If you have a Crapple phone, I can't help you. If you've got an Android phone, swipe down with two fingers, click the settings / gear icon, click on Google services and preferences, click the three dots in the upper right corner, click on usage and diagnostics, and turn it off.
If you really want to "control" what's going on with your phone, subscribe to a VPN service, and download Opera browser and use it to browse with after you've turned off all the identifying characteristics of your phone, or written in what you want your phone to display to a hacker.

The lengths employers will go to make sure we"re not looking for other jobs on their computers is astounding ;)

Given the nature of algorithms and search engines, my money is on Control, and not liberation.

ReplyDeleteps - I don't think that anyone's figured out how to "open a window" on the Internet yet. Can you work on it?
