He said you should remove the cameras and microphone from your phone and make calls using a plugin headphone mic combo
This is because your microphone and camera can be activated remotely at any moment and you wouldn't ever know it. Everything said or seen around you can be recorded.

Thinking camera is dangerous...
You are so dumb dudes, what do you think?
The camera will kill you with dead laser?
>>55072091
Blacked out camera. I don't really keep my phone near me and when I do, I put the earphone on
why would a phone have a camera

Not so much that I have nothing to hide... just I'm making the conscious decision that ripping out the microphone on my mobile phone and blacking my camera is a total over-reaction to the threat of government surveillance - given that they have absolutely no reason to be interested in me.
The inconvenience of having to carry a seperate mic, and needing to carry a conventional camera, far outweighs the risk of the government giving half a shit about me.
And I'm not dumb enough to get ransomware on my phone, so not a lot of threat there either.
>>55072602
I get your point. OP gave an out of context quote from Snowden, but I do think that is important to, at least, know how to be protected from mass surveillance and to support and help the development of technology that protect our freedom to browse the web, fap to porn, send an email or whatever.
If you don't give a fuck about people being oppressed in countries like Syria, Iran, China etc these are good advice and help saving people lives.
>>55072091
>not using a flipphone
>>55072678
Oh for sure --- people should be educated on this, and definitely Snowden's advice shouldn't be ignored.
The OP tried to suggest that *everybody* should be doing this however, to which I strongly chortle and say "ummm...no"

You seriously actually legitimately believe that your average person could not only take apart his magic cellphone, then operate a soldering iron without burning himself, then identify microphone arrays, AND then remove them without destroying the phone?
You're insane. The average normalfag can't even replace a battery.

yes I saw that vice episode too
Hey guys, so would I be able to do this by just scratching the bus that leads into the mic and camera or maybe by snopping the wire rather than disassembling ? I dont like having my power level become apparent.
>>55072091
I though of doing that on my I9300 once, doesn't look too hard. But it would make my main cellphone unpractical. I could just remove the cameras, but I just tape them, so I don't worry about that.
>>55075026
The phone without the camera will look the same in distance, there is no need to worry
Snowden was a moron who decided to dump a bunch of shit on some journalists and got lucky that there was juicy info in it.
let me just rip open my$800 note 4 just to be autistic and try to disable the mic and cameras so some NSA agent cant see the inside of my pocket or hear the silence aince i dont talk randomly

I joined in 2017, what does that make me?
>>55072091
Such self-aggrandizing horse shit.
Yeah, let's get a chip-off machine, spend hours removing cameras and microphones, basically turning our $800 phone into junk not considering the fact that any call made or SMS sent over the network is subject to interception. Wow...we really accomplished a lot there, huh? Snowden is a propaganda tool of Russian State Intelligence.
>>55072091
I'm not a terrorist, It's okay.
>>55072220
Have you never heard of webcam blackmail? Are you actually as stupid as you look?
>>55075743
Yeah man, if they're already recording our calls we might as well let them remotely activate the camera/mic any time they want!
why headphone combo? can't you just have a plugin mic thingy you don't need to remove the speaker do you???
>>55075791
yeah or you could just invest $20 in a faraday bag and a roll of electrical tape and solve the problem without bricking your phone because some FSB media plant told you to.
>been watching cpz in my Windows 10 PC
>been worshiping ISIS from my Mac Book
>>55075791
And let's not lose sight of the fact that the Internet was created by the US defense establishment as a redundant communications system in the event of a nuclear attack by the USSR. Thanks to the hippies at Berkeley, it was leaked into the civilian world around the same time as the PC and viola, it's what we have today. Elaborate surveillance conspiracy or happy coincidence? Either way, right now, you and I are conversing on a communications network tool invented by the US defense establishment and you are appalled that it's being used to spy on people? Really? All this alarmist nonsense is just that. So what if the NSA knows I like to look at hot chicks in thongs? Wow...I'm a normal heterosexual male. What an intelligence goldmine. The problem here is not state surveillance, it's the over-inflated hipster ego that convinces people their personal web surfing habits are of any importance outside of their own special snowflake bubble.
Not to mention that Vice story was riddled with inaccuracies anyway.
>>55072091

>"what porn did they look at, have they cheated, literally anything we can use to discredit them in any way shape or form"
>"well, he stopped at a tranny porn site once"
>"that's good enough"
and now you are the tranny porn guy for the rest of your life. Like it or not, even if you look at "normal" porn and only that, most people will think less of you. If you have a real message to get out, this is devastating. If you are like snowden and are in legitimate danger of being assassinated, no reason not to be paranoid... hell i would stop using a cell phone altogether.
>>55073392

>>55072091
Or just use a dumbphone with removable battery.
>>55076036
Right....so the NSA is going to expose a multi-billion dollar, compartmentalized surveillance program so they can label some anonymous citizen as the tranny porn guy? Are you fucking serious?
1st, if the NSA came after me to try and blackmail me with some porno bullshit, I'd have them more over a barrel than they would me, because the blackmail itself would reveal the existence of their super-secret program, and after Snowden, they aren't going to risk it.
2nd, do you even live in the world? Take a look around. If it came out that someone like a SCOTUS judge was looking at tranny porn, they'd probably get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for being so "open-minded" and "tolerant". NO-FUCKING-BODY gives a shit what kind of fetish porn you look at...nobody.
What people do give a shit about is at least making the attempt to stop the next crazy person from running around willy-nilly gunning people down in the name of their beliefs.
And yes, I'm aware that Snowden said the surveillance hasn't stopped an attack. So what? He's one guy who has been out of the US intel loop for what essentially equates to epochs. I'd be surprised if he had any pertinent information at this point.
So, quit pissing your pants. Nobody cares what Twitter feed you follow or where you like to stick your anatomy. They ain't coming after you for kicks based on that.
All they will see is me fapping to furry porn.
