What Your Phone Carrier Actually Knows About You

About this episode

The episode discusses the extensive data that cell carriers collect about users and how to mitigate privacy concerns.

Your cell carrier knows your name, your location, who you called, when you called them, how long you talked, and more. What's worse, this data sits on their servers for years. VPNs and Signal help, but they don't touch the infrastructure layer. Here's what you can actually do, and how Cape is trying to change things. Thank you to Cape for partnering on this video!
