I'd disable javascript, tracking, and fingerprinting in the browser, and even then I'd avoid the browser unless I had no choice. Better to browse on a laptop (w/ @QubesOS) which does not have a history of everywhere I've been, since it lacks GPS & Wifi, and has @Whonix built-in. — PolitiTweet.org

I would use an ad blocker. I would use a password manager. I would block third-party cookies in the browser. These last three are steps that absolutely everyone should consider, because they're simple, cost little or nothing, and protect you while making your phone faster. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

I wouldn't use WiFi at home, because global maps of every wireless access point's unique ID—including yours—are free and constantly updated. I would use ethernet; yes, ethernet on a phone. I would deny network permissions to any app that doesn't need it using an app firewall. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

If I were configuring a smartphone today, I'd use @DanielMicay's @GrapheneOS as the base operating system. I'd desolder the microphones and keep the radios (cellular, wifi, and bluetooth) turned off when I didn't need them. I would route traffic through the @torproject network. — PolitiTweet.org

Software is equally important. The iOS and Android operating systems that run on nearly every smartphone conceal uncountable numbers of programming flaws, known as security vulnerabilities, that mean common apps like iMessage or web browsers become dangerous: you can be hacked. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

But as long as your phone is turned on, even with "location permissions" disabled, the radios in the phone that connect it to all the nice things you like are screaming into the air, reporting your presence to nearby cell towers, which then create records that are kept forever. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

Phone security has been something I've struggled with for a long time. I once spoke with @VICE's @ShaneSmith30 about how it's possible to physically remove internal microphones and cameras from a phone, but even that only mitigates a portion of the threat. https://t.co/pK5WZDyw60 — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

In recent interviews, I've gotten questions over if or how I use a smartphone. They're so dangerous for someone like me, so it's quite difficult to give an in-depth answer. But I published a paper with @bunniestudios a few years ago discussing some risks: https://t.co/hFexpqTefA — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. The book the government is so afraid of you reading that they sued the publisher on DAY ONE has now sold so many copies that even *Amazon* is selling out.

Edward Snowden @Snowden

This week when my new book, Permanent Record, became available, the US government sued my publisher for failing to grant the CIA and NSA an opportunity to remove evidence of their crimes from the manuscript. Not even joking. This is my publisher's response: (via @minipetite) https://t.co/miPKXnn6F7 — PolitiTweet.org
