We trade last‑minute schedules and kid chaos for a deep dive into how modern phones leak data, why “Ask App Not to Track” isn’t enforcement, and what a third platform built for privacy and free speech looks like. Joe shares his Apple-to-Unplugged journey, the Raxxis findings, and practical features that make privacy usable.
• zero‑to‑one background from Nomi acquisition to Apple services
• motivation for a third platform beyond Apple and Google
• Raxxis test revealing 3,400 sessions and 210,000 packets in one hour
• third‑party data brokers, pattern‑of‑life risks, Fourth Amendment gaps
• layered threat model from passive tracking to seizure and signals
• emergency reset, false PIN wipe, and hardware battery cut‑off
• first‑party vs third‑party privacy and ecosystem incentives
• “Ask App Not to Track” as preference vs permission
• Time Away to reduce engagement and regain attention
• firewall, USB data blocking, 2G limits, Bluetooth controls
• camouflaged VPN and operational noise in repressive networks
• app compatibility layer and broader app sourcing without Google
• clear business model: hardware and subscriptions, no data sale
