Google Watches ALL Your Devices! How to Stop It.

  • You may think you're protecting a computer with a VPN, Location turned off and various privacy strategies, but without awareness of all your devices, Google and other Big tech could be spying on all your devices at once, validating information among them like IP addresses and locations.
    Google is also running perpetual little programs that do telemetry for Google even while devices are not in use. Information mismatches between devices (because of VPN use for example) can be auto-corrected based on matching devices with historical records that cannot be erased.
    There are many many tricks and we are not aware of them, you will think you have privacy but in reality you won't. You need to understand what's involved and your knowledge needs to be brought up a notch.

      What I would like to find is some sort of box I could put my phone in that would prevent it from hearing anything going on around it, but would still allow it to get signals and would have some way of repeating notification sounds and ringing outside the box. I don't want a Faraday box because I still want the phone to work (I still want to hear it ring when I get a call or make a noise when I get a text), I just don't want it listening to my conversations.

    Big tech has the ability to identify a user typing content by analyzing your typing. Not just your writing style, verbosity, structure, grammar, vocabulary and spelling (static document analysis), but also your pace, typing rhythm, etc. (live dynamic analysis) Every keystroke including the delete and backspace buttons. This tech is real. Why do you think google docs exists but to sample everything? Not just what you write but how you write and how you type. Every google search is compromising (real time search suggestions implies real time analysis of every keystroke).
    If you really want to go next level, you should type everything into notepad to circumvent the real time typing analysis, then copy and paste. Deliberately alter your style, grammar, vocab, to circumvent the static analysis - its easier to dumb down than it is to dumb up.

    1. VPN (if so can I plug my Orbi into it?)
    2. change to De-Googled phones (do they have good cameras?)
    3. change to Linux PC's (this seems really hard and expensive?)
    4. cancel my google maps GPS
    5. set up all my emails to flow through you email service (MAYBE I should just change my emails altogether, is that BEST; and use a new brax email address??? ALSO, won't my Tesla Model Y software & GPS hopelessly blow all this apart for me???

      Maybe there exists a small Arduino that can do virtual serial COM to a PC (BT or WiFi), but with a mobile interface and SIM card socket and can do digital texting without KaiOS. Assuming the Arduino mobile interface doesn't embed KaiOS, of course. Then maybe it could be possible to do texting based 2FA from a PC over a virtual COM port without any cross device telemetry. But that also assumes that you don't have any other devices near you that can enter IMEI snoop mode (such as a mobile signal booster).

      I also realised that I used my google mail address on way too many accounts.
      Take it slow, isolate the things you do with browsers, use tempmails when you can, otherwise just try not to get everything linked to your existing data that google knows (like phone numbers, mail addresses).
      If you cannot stop using OS's like Windows or Googled Android etc. just try to minimize the data they collect. Don't overdo it. If they want to track you, you can't do anything anyways.

      If you've not de-6006l3d the phone, they still have your identity. All you've done above is made it a bit more difficult for them to see who is linked to you. However, it's a "moot point" if other people have you in their private contacts on their smartphones.
