I Solved the Phone Number Privacy Problem!

Ғылым және технология

The biggest threat that remains hard to resolve is the phone number threat. Each day it becomes even more important to protect because every platform now uses this as an identity card. Let me remind you in this video of all the threats and problems with loose control of this phone number.
In this video I finally arrive at a solution that has eluded me for many years!
This is the video that establishes the phone number problem.

    10:46 - Having watched quite a few Rob's videos, I started to appreciate the amount of knowledge and level of carefulness required to keep privacy intact. For example, when Rob says "as long as the email does not have identity info and IP address," he really means a separate email address and VPN, if I am not missing anything. I also liked that gentle nod to Mint Mobile LOL

    @@robbraxmantech any recommendation on a “degoogled” streaming device? I have a NAS running Jellyfin on my LAN with all of my music,movies, and TV shows uploaded to it. However, I’m looking for a streaming device that doesn’t require me to sign into a apple/google account In order to download apps. Really the only app I need to download is Jellyfin(but without apple or foogle sticking their nose into my business). This is possible on my degoogled phone because I have f-droid. But it would be nice to have a streaming device similar to a Apple TV/ Chromecast that is capable of this so I can stream my music and videos from my NAS locally/remotely onto a TV. Looking forward to your input. Thanks for your time and everything you do!

    The "solution" is simple... phone numbers aren't private, and never have been. The problem is people using them as a form of ID, and a means of authentication. NOTHING about a phone number is private, _or secure!_ There have been way too many cases of people having things stolen because they lost control of a phone number.

Legal and confidential Shipping receive addresses are common but what about the instrument you use to pay for the product or service? 95% of Prepaid credit cards do not work.

    1) In the part of Europe that I am in, you can dial a prefix number before the number you are calling which will hide your Calling Line Identity from the person you are calling. Indian call centres inject false CLIDs to the suckers that they call in case they block calls where there is no CLID, or to make it look like someone is calling from a specific town or city, and not Mumbai. 2) What you're asking for is a system that guarantees (or "trusts") the transaction without revealing the identity of the transactor. That sounds very much like the concept of the Blockchain from where I am sitting.

    I solved it a long time ago by getting rid of my phone so I would not need a number. By the way, 2FA is a violation to the American Disabilities Act because many disabled people do not own cell phones or email, and all U.S. companies & organizations must be ADA compliant. Next time you get prompted for 2FA, call the company & tell them they are in violation of the ADA and you cannot do 2FA.

    Just because some disabled people don't have mobiles doesn't mean that it would be a violation of the disabilities act. Short of someone who is completely paralyzed, SMS is accessible to everyone. So I don't really buy your argument. I would agree that it _should_ be illegal to require though. I suspect that if that is somehow the case or a law would be made for that it would only only apply to required services such as banks, and hence still keep most people locked out from stuff like Steam or Discord. I tried contacting Discord about not having an SMS phone number and they essentially said "tough luck, we don't want you then". Steam would probably say the same thing (granted this is just for verification for ladder and/or SteamGuard or such, not required for basic Steam use).

    Yes and no. It's true that some services might detect a VOIP number and deny it, _but_ if you use your real number for 2FA and VOIP for everything else it will still work. This kind of makes sense to do anyway because all your normal conversations -voice and SMS- will be encrypted (assuming it gets routed through a VPN). Only 2FA won't be encrypted, but that will pretty much never be an issue. The only _theoretical_ downside is that when doing it this way is that the 2FA will still be vulnerable to SIM swap attack (assuming that you can't just set protections with your provider to make such attacks not viable) *_if_** somehow someone got a hold of the 2FA number.* _however_ considering that the number is only used for 2FA, nobody should have that number as being linked to you (it will only get brute forced SMS spams but not know any info about the owner of the number). So it's rather irrelevant that I even brought this up.

But yet these businesses will not consider using email addresses, only a phone number for 2FA. Each time I bring this up with them, I get blown off with we don't do that. Just blows my mind.

    At least personally I find that KZread deletes comments (presumably anti-spam) in a seemingly random manner. I've never noticed specific topics that it blocks. I can re-post pretty much the same content as the deleted post again and it will go through. I think it's more related to whether or not a user has anti-fingerprinting anti-scripting, and other privacy features in their browser. If Google/YT find it to be a hard to verify account it will seemingly randomly delete comments several seconds after they are posted. At least that is my experience and my hypothesized theory.

Although I'm surprised it occurred to you now because I heard that many years ago it was patched to not happen for internet videos, due to some sort of detection mechanism (I'm not sure if it's KZread that plays some inaudible sound in the background during videos, or it listens on a frequency that would normally be cut off, or just has better detection or something).

    I was getting emails from the DNC asking for donations. But they thought I was a woman named Margaret. I started getting emails from other companies and eventually received an email that included Margaret's address. She lives in England! So the DNC was asking people in England for donations, which I think is illegal. Then I got an email from a collection agency. I had to explain the whole story and what do you know - that ended the emails to Margaret from everyone. I have two other email accounts. I gave them the same bizarre nonsensical name hoping to avoid the auto-name generating algorhythms used for spamming. Turns out someone else conjured up the same email name only on a different email service. And then one day I received an email from a school counselor addressed to all three accounts. This email was intended for the parents of a very troubled youth, and it discussed his whole history at the school and details of his problems and everything. So the idiot counselor apparently remembered the bizarre email name but not which domain, so she sent it to all three. I went to the school website and got the email address of every staff member I could find including the principal. And then I replied to all of them and to the parents and said thank you for the private information about the boy and asked for more details as his case continued. I also reprimanded the parents for getting a divorce and blamed the boy's problems on them. I never heard back but I bet it didn't turn out so well for the counselor.

    Valid numbers can be obtained by brute force- calling/texting all possible numbers. I would assume that is probably the reason you are getting calls rather than someone from another area code, but your hypothesis is still possible instead. However, if you register your number with the do not call list that should protect you from getting US-based spam. Only international spammers would then do it, because any in the US (or even closely linked with the US) will be breaking the law and can be tracked down by law enforcement. Or, considering that they are presumably a legit organization that respects people, you can just call them and tell them they have the wrong person and you don't want their messages.

    You just keep your phone on connected to the network but internet disabled and walk around. Your phone already generates an incredible amount of signalling communication Some of it is kept for a while for legal reasons and some of it may be kept for a shorter period technical reasons. Towers keep measuring your location and signal strength all the time. Your phone does the same and sends its measurements to the towers. They pass this information to a higher level component that decides about the most effective way to provide you the service. Can be thousands of entries daily for an unused phone in your bag. Now turn on internet. Two dozen apps start communicating instantly. That generate even more signalling reaching more network elements. If you have a turned on phone thsn your location is tracked better than KGB could have dreamed of and there is very little you can do about it. Forward your encrypted text messages from your phone at home via lorawan to a device that has no other wireless technology in it and stay within range. That will be really hard to track but really limiting to you. AFAIK no such device ready for end user is available on the market.
