reminder that fdroid offers apps that will monopolize the microphone so it cannot be used by other programs (pilfershush for example.)

electrical tape on your camera should take care of the rest, and developer mode lets you feed the system bogus GPS data at will.



All good ideas for general opsec, however the last one is moot if you're connecting to cell networks - tower connection and triangulation data is not local to your phone and is already relatively easy for police to access with a warrant.


Does that also stop the baseband from accessing the microphone? How would I test that?
