    Government Is Snooping on Your Phone

    Many apps collect data that is then accessed by outside entities.
    Should you care?

    The government and private companies spy on us.

    My former employee, Naomi Brockwell, has become a privacy specialist.
    She advises people on how to protect their privacy.

    In my new video, she tells me I should delete most of my apps on my
    phone.

    Why bother? Buy a feature phone instead. I have a nokia 110 4g which works great for calling and texting.

    The only thing I miss from a smartphone is a taxi app, since I have to pay about 2-3x when ordering through regular channels. I do have an android emulator somewhere that can run a taxi app, but usually I just Stallman
    myself to a bolt or an �ber.
