Is Your iPhone Spying on You by Taking Invisible Photos? Apple Explains Infrared Camera
The short answer is YES, your iPhone takes invisible photos of you all the time. The device takes an infrared image of your face every five seconds while it is turned on. The pictures taken are used for your Face ID to unlock your smartphone device automatically. ...
The details were first shared by a TikTok user named Brie Thomason. She is a photographer who managed to film an iPhone snapping infrared photos every five to 10 seconds. The iPhone continues capturing images, even when the camera is blocked or the screen is locked.
(from 2011)
And so, with my iPhone4s using a Facebook app, I touched the tab called “Nearby.” An incredible amount of “actionable intelligence” scrolled on. One friend was at the Sheraton at the Pentagon. Another was at the Pentagon. I emailed to her and she confirmed. Another was at the VA Hospital in Long Beach. Ruby Tuesday. iHop. Starbucks Fort Polk. Times Square. Pacific Grill. Home sweet home. Octapharma Plasma. China Café. FBI Academy. Tahlequah Dialysis Unit. Columbus State University. AJ’s Pizza. Farelli’s Pizza. Palladium Theatre. Home. Crossroads Christian Church. 24 Hour Fitness – Mission Valley California. The Exchange Hotel.
And on and on. With my iPhone, I could track their smartphones in real time.
Some people were also typing entries (just got on the train) and they were being tracked. One young Thai woman was typing entries and finally posted she was home at her condo in Bangkok. At the same time, another was 12 time zones away at X-treme Rockclimbing Gym in Miami, Florida.
Touch one button and GoogleMaps instantly appears showing the precise location. Touch one more button and there is a choice: “Open in Maps,” “Get Directions,” “Cancel.”
I scrolled down the list. Numerous people said they were home. Their locators pinpointed their locations. I touched the buttons and saw their locations on Google Earth. And there was one Afghan friend. I could see exactly where he was in Kabul. He is an avowed enemy of the Taliban. They have threatened to kill him. I emailed at once saying to turn that thing off. I know where you are. If he did not email back very quickly, I was going to call. He emailed back, confirmed his location and turned it off.
It’s not enough that we are careful ourselves. If we are tooling around Afghanistan together, and only one of us has not turned off the location service, we are both trackable by anyone. No special gear or warrant is needed. If someone’s child has this option switched on, the whole family is trackable, not to mention that the child is easily trackable in real time everywhere he or she goes.
The United States faces greater threats at home than we face in Afghanistan. The Mexican border, for instance, is being described as a war zone.
This thread is perfect as illustration as to why Waltz, Hegseth, Tootsie and Witkoff are stupid cunts: they used phones that spy on them to discuss sensitive national security matters, one of them while literally sitting the the Kremlin waiting room. :facepalm:
A new biometric digital ID program has quietly taken root in six major U.S. cities, raising alarm bells among Americans concerned with personal liberty and digital surveillance.
Under the banner of “fighting AI fraud,” the World ID project, backed by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, is scanning people’s irises in exchange for cryptocurrency—and possibly, their privacy.
The system uses a device called the Orb—a shiny, spherical scanner that captures the unique patterns of your eye.
The goal? To create a digital ID that proves you’re a real human being online.
The project’s developers claim this technology will help protect against bots and fraud.
But critics argue it’s another step toward normalizing mass biometric surveillance in the name of convenience.
The disturbing digital ID project has now been rolled out in six Democrat-controlled cities across the country.
Background/Objectives: Adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination on human menstrual cycle characteristics have been observed, but limited data are available on the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination status and birth rates. Therefore, we used nationwide data from the Czech Republic to examine rates of successful conceptions, i.e., conceptions leading to live births 9 months later, for women who were either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID-19 before successful conception.
Methods: Summary monthly COVID-19 vaccination and birth data for women aged 18-39 years in the Czech Republic were retrieved for the period from January 2021 to December 2023. The numbers of successful conceptions per month per 1,000 women were calculated for preconception-vaccinated or unvaccinated women, respectively, as well as the number of successful conceptions per month per 1,000 women for all women aged 18-39 years.
Results: During the study period, there were approximately 1,300,000 women aged 18-39 years in the Czech Republic, and the proportion of COVID-19-vaccinated women increased until reaching a steady state of around 70% by the end of 2021. During the entire study period, successful conceptions per 1,000 women were considerably lower for women who were vaccinated, compared to those that were unvaccinated, before successful conception. Furthermore, successful conception rates for the vaccinated group were generally much lower than expected based on their proportion of the total population.
Conclusions: In the Czech Republic, successful conception rates were substantially lower for women vaccinated against COVID-19 before successful conception than for those who were not vaccinated. These hypothesis-generating and preliminary results call for further studies of the potential influence of COVID-19 vaccination on human fecundability and fertility.
It's for your own safety! Shut up! Comply!

I know this is anti-consensus here, but I just fuck with it. Yes, I have Alexa. Bad I know. But wake up in the morning and just say something like my penis itches. My butt hole was bloody when I wiped. Can you get AIDS from licking German Shepard semen. How much shit can you eat in an hour.
AI and all this shit doesn't work if the data is trash. Trash the data. If we could get 100M people in the US to fuck with it, it doesn't work. There's no money. It's fun too.
Ultimately it's advertisers. If the data is trash, they won't buy. For two years I've contemplated how to potentially make money of a campaign to fuck with the data. My brain isn't that big. There's got to be a way.
The only problem with this is the 95% of non-bullshit that Alexa records 24/7 from every member of your household.

Many others have attempted Open Source phones and failed. I hope this one works, especially since I just discovered that you cannot turn off wifi or Bluetooth on Android or iOS. "Turning it off" in the controls on those phones merely disconnects you from current access points, but leaves them on so they can spy on your location with great precision and open you up to various exploits:
