How does using GrapheneOS prevent license plate readers from tracking where you are, or from you being groped at the airport?




I responded to the last point of the parent comment

Grapheneos doesn't stop cellphone tracking either. Cell carriers keeping track of where you are (or at least which cell you're in) is fundamental to how cell phone networks work, so a privacy focused android distribution can't fix that.

Exactly, the tracking has to happen and there's no law to discard the data ever

It's how we know even YEARS later EVERYONE who went to Epstein Island

They didn't even have smartphones then, just regular cellphones

Wired just bought all the tracking from a databroker, no warrant needed
