Don't know how many times I've posted this since the IC, but here it goes yet again...

"Cell phones are capable of providing more information about us and our whereabouts than we usually realize. We familiar with the ability of cell phones to be used to track users' locations, but now the FBI has begun using them for eavesdropping—even when they are turned off.

The FBI's activities came to light in the course of the prosecution of two alleged members of the Genovese crime family. John Ardito and Peter Peluso had their Sprint Nextel phones tapped by the FBI in the course of their investigations, which itself is not unusual. The government went a step further in their case: not only were their phone calls recordded, but so were all conversations carried out in the presence of the defendants' cell phones.

US District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled last week that such "roving bugs" were legal under US wiretap laws. Investigators had asked for judicial approval for a roving bug during their investigation because the meetings allegedly conducted by the defendants took place in 12 different restaurants, in automobiles, on a boat, and a number of other places. Given the degree of difficulty involved in bugging the numerous locations, another federal judge overseeing the case approved the roving bug."

We now know what they use to activate these features inside every phone: The phone's baseband processor.

Access to the baseband processor and it's features can be done by remote. The Alphabet Agencies have access to tools that allow direct communication to the baseband processor, as outlined by the Genovese case, that will allow them to activate whatever they want, whenever they want even if the phone is turned off. The only way to completely disable it is to remove the battery and, in the case of iPhones and other retardedly designed phones, you can't remove it. This means that any phone without a user serviceable battery can potentially be used to listen to conversations, snap pictures of the surroundings, take video, etc by anyone with access to said tools.

The US Government said it wanted to build a DNA database of every citizen. Collectively, we said "fuck off".

A couple of years later and Ancestry introduced Ancestry DNA. 23 and me popped up and all these other companies claiming to tell you your heritage via DNA samples you willingly send in.

Do you really think that's a coincidence?

BOOM!

Biggest con in modern day history.

"How can we get folks to submit their DNA without forcing them, just so we can keep it on file, and use it to clone them?"

"Hey...let's make up an DNA Ancestry company, tell them if they send their DNA in a kit, they'll know where they're originally from! Of course we'll make up some shyt, but they won't know that...HAHAHAHA!! Stupid humans."
 
and those ancestry shits have been proven to be a failure.. someone sent in their shit to all different companies and got different answers of their ancestry from every single one... should tell u everything u need to know...

"... More like 1984, but in 2010, big brother was made cool and everyone opened their arms and accepted it." - konceptjones, The IC.
 
Basic smartphones do this somewhat.

I can have a conversation with someone about something then look to google it and its something I never searched before but the shit populates in my google search box like it was listening to my conversation.

The why is simple, the company needs to keep track to make services better. These things weren’t made to be invasive or sinister. It’s just the new way tech works.

It’s just the downside when government or law enforcement steps in. They don’t want any shit, so they just hand it over without problems. But Apple was giving the FBI shit about unlocking a phone, not too long ago.

But, the thing here is criminal acts... don’t do criminal shit.

Sigh. Keep telling yourself that. Just keep it to yourself tho.

Do you really believe that Apple hadn't handed over the info they wanted? Niggas that want to crime will now flock to Apple products 'cause they believe they're "safer". It's easier to crack one platform than it is to crack several, and because you can still buy brand new Android phones with versions of the OS as old as Froyo on it keeping up with Android would prove to be a more difficult task. So, make a spectacle out of it. Make it appear as if iOS is so secure the Feds can't even get into it without Apple's help. Let Apple appear to resist handing over that information and now Apple is the champion of freedom from the feds spying on the common man. Then, allow the feds to set up a dummy company to sell this tech to other LEA and everyone is happy.
