In den letzten Wochen habe ich ein paar Stunden am Tag passive drahtlose Scans durchgeführt… ..
Die Zahlen überraschten mich. Analysierte durchschnittlich 17.332–27.719 einzigartige Sendungen pro Tag in öffentlichen und privaten Bereichen. Jedes Ping repräsentiert etwas mit einem Chip: Wi-Fi-Router, Smart-TVs, Drucker, Wearables, Bluetooth-Tracker, Autos, Zahlungsanschlüsse, Kameras und sogar Geräte.
Die meisten dieser Signale existieren aus legitimen Gründen… Konnektivität, Analyse, Telemetrie, aber das bloße Volumen zeichnet ein seltsames Bild. Ein einziges Einkaufszentrum kann Hunderte von Geräten pro Minute veranstalten, die leise Kennungen und Metadaten austauschen.
Schichten Sie das in Stadtviertel, Büros und kommunalen Netzwerken über, und Sie beginnen zu sehen, wie dicht und überlappend diese unsichtbaren Systeme wirklich sind.
Es geht nicht um Paranoia oder böse Absicht; Es ist das natürliche Ergebnis, dass alles „klug“ wird. Aber sobald Sie es sich visualisiert haben, fühlt sich die Idee der echten Privatsphäre theoretisch an.
Neugierig, woran du denkst:
Haben Sie die lokale Signaldichte oder bemerkte Muster gemessen? Glauben Sie, dass es eine praktische Möglichkeit gibt, diese Daten im Maßstab zu anonymisieren? Wo ist die Grenze zwischen Bequemlichkeit und Überwachung für Sie?

Man you need to get a hobby
Add to this Apple disabled turning off wifi and bluetooth from the quick switch panel (you have to go into settings and they turned what was a single button click into 6 separate steps to turn off radios), add to this the sheer amount of people who still have their default iphone name „John’s iPhone“, add to this the amount of devices that now silently run their bluetooth constantly in the background even if they are turned off (bose, anker, beats, apple earpods, etc…)
I always found it fascinating that right after Apple made the decisions to make bluetooth radios harder to disable was the same time COVID later was released and the „stand 6 feet away from everyone“ number was shouted over and over and even marked in lines…and that happens to be the exact same number for bluetooth accuracy (6 feet away).
Add to the fact that the January 6 riots opened up the law for linking people’s phones to their social media accounts using machine learning and mapping people’s movement… I cant even imagine how insane the database has gotten especially now with executive orders making protests an „act of insurrection“.
Also, Phil Schneier (Schneier on Security) is a great blog for following security and privacy legislation. He works in some extremely high up places but still tries to let people know what is going on.
Back to analog living.
I threw away my cell phone in 2020, and the extra effort I have to put in (e.g., asking for the time, the street, etc.) is worth it to me.
The improved quality of life I’ve gained has paid off many times over.
>But once you visualise it, the idea of privacy starts to feel theorethical
Your mistake for assuming it was ever any different.
But on the other hand, its easier to hide in a crowd.
That’s a good conspiracy if you ask me. Mass surveillance, control, deception… Add to this the fact that you don’t even need to shout about something but just think and an ad pops up. What are the chances that we almost lost free will?
u are always observed, only with the awareness of this can u regain ur power
What are we looking at here? Is everyone going to pretend they understand what they are seeing?
It’s honestly scary. I own a business and obviously have to use marketing. But marketing is absolutely terrifying.
I can geofence locations to send you specific ads if you enter. And the ads will follow you for a certain number of days.
I can track everything you do before or after you visit my website. And the marketing team uses ai to generate ads to get you to revisit or call my shop.
The worst in my opinion is DMV data. The freaking government sells your data! Marketing teams will use a.i to pull specific demographics. Like if I wanted people between the age of 34-65 who make a household income of $150k or higher and specifically own Mercedes, bmw, or porche. I can have a lead list on my desk within a couple of days.
Terrifying.
The internet of things was a mistake. My refrigerator (or any of my appliances for that matter) doesn’t need to be hooked up to the internet.
I know it’s non ionizing, relatively non harmful and all that, but it still bothers me to think of the radio wave soup that we live in
Your numbers surprise me… I guess you live in a pretty big city though?
i often see discussions on free will here , can you define what you think free will means please ? because my understanding is if you want you can piss on the plantpot outside you can have a cheeseburger instead of a hotdog you can even shit in ur own hands if you want. so what exactly do you people think free will means?
I screenshoted your fingerprint
Well what are the implications of this? Are you saying all of these things are gathering data from your phone or just merely registering your presence there?
I thought you might like some actual [science](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vle2ssAWiFg) when it comes to all of that WiFi… it’s cool, slightly terrifying and quite real.
You said you found something. What did you find? I didn’t see it mentioned.
So it’s watch dogs logic.
Makes sense
Hell, I’ll upvote you just for having a non-political conspiracy on here — not that I don’t like those too, they should be examined, but ya get sick of em after awhile.
Would like more solid conspiracies (vs say FE and such) posted like cryptids, ghosts, ufos, etc.
And before someone says „Post what ya wanna see“ I can’t yet, this account isn’t old enough yet (last one was 13 years old). I can’t recover my old login after a long stay in hospital then physical rehab so said the hell with it and made a new one when I got home. No biggie, just sucks trying to get back to a posting point.
Yeah most folks underestimate the power/result of proximity data swapping between nearby devices.
People really don’t realize that they have ways to spy on anyone, at any time. All it takes is for you to show up on their radar, and you’ll realize that privacy is not a right in America.
How this is the shit in like to see here in this sub
Nice work and i get your point but this isnt really a good way to show that. Just because you can ping a host or read some data packets that are floating aroung doesnt mean much on its own, most of these hosts will be secured and packets with important data should be encrypted.
Turn off your wifi and bluetooth on your phone if you dont need it and forbid apps completly to run in the background and only allow them access to the web when its actually needed.
Another mistake people make is using the same main account to create multiple accounts other platforms like using your Google or Facebook account to create a Netflix or Ebay account because then Google/Facebook can exchange and collect data between these other platforms.
Privacy does take some work nowadays and we will probably never be able to prevent all data collection but there are a lot of steps people can take to at least minimize the amount being collected and cross referenced.
And this is why iPhones and Android phones frequently change the presenting MAC address of both Bluetooth and WiFi
Vaccinated people emit a Bluetooth signal now, supposedly.
How would I do this myself? Is it an app or is any external hardware required?
If you are a big company that produces some very specific item ideal for a niche subset of customers… of course you want to profile everyone so you can market only to the people you know are likely to buy.
