No. No cell. I am one of the most "free" I've known given circumstance and perhaps this connection among the few. It would be interesting to know the numbers but that would require a certain sacrifice of the individual I would not accept knowingly. Meh, I'm feeding the beast as I type...

I do not have a cell phone. I am paranoid that GPS locations and remote activated microphones are real possibilities. I know, I know...it's a stretch, despite being technologically possible.

Besides, project ECHELON has been in use since the 1970's...so what am I so worried about?

But cell phones make me feel sick for some reason...as much as I love the internet, I just can't use a cell.

It's not a stretch. It's a reality that the .gov has already admitted to.

The technology is becoming so amateur that a good private investigator could remotely activate your cell camera/microphone.

Awoke, it would benefit you to learn about PGP/GPG encryption...

You can encrypt files with your private key, so that only you can decrypt it.

You can exchange public keys and send encrypted messages to others.

So if you use GMail, for example, you can encrypt a message using my public key, so that only I can decrypt it with my private key, and no one but us is privy to the contents of the email. GMail simply becomes a carrier by which random data (well, random to those without the key and the password associated with it) is exchanged between two parties.

Seriously, if you are worried about this kind of privacy, you would do well to look into PGP and Tor.

I know you and I have the same thoughts on encryption, but on the heels of your post.....

Wasn't GSUS supposed to switch to https?

Think there was more talk than anything, it would be nice if it was done.

The FBI admitted to using this technology to fight organized crime in New York. They have the ability to remotely turn on the microphone on cell phones and listen in on conversations. Any conversation that the microphone can pick up, such as two guys sitting there talking in a car. Get this, the phone does not even have to be turned on. It can be shut down, off, and they can still do this. The only way to avoid it, is to take the battery out of the cell phone.

This is not just andriod phones, but all cell phones.

They can track us with the GPS if they want to, and listen to us, if they want to.

Agreed, how hard could it be? I'd offer help too...

**Uhmavano** · 07-09-2012, 11:24 PM

I do not have a cell phone.

Me either because:

1. They are expensive
2. I don't need one.
3. I don't want my own personal tracking device
