She doesn’t mention turning off location services. That shit is granular and used as part of the way companies track us.

And even if you turn it off, your location can still be derived by triangulating via cell towers; I’m not sure if that access is widely available or just for law enforcement…. But it I absolutely would not be surprised if it was for sale.

If I were doing this the phone would be turned off when I’m at home, and only used in public or moving in a car; nowhere near my home.
