it matters more what you DO with that info

Reminds me why never to trade in a phone, better to either keep it as a backup or destroy it completely

Factory reset the phone is the best procedure. But yes it is a lie.

Ty

Will that delete contact info?

@Saintlady9 sounds like nonsense to me

I keep my old phones, for a back up, eventually just toss

Factory reset is NOT enough

@Casandra 👍

Ikr, I went and to delete this big box popped up and said caution is may stop other programs from running or harm your phone

Doubt keeping the phone does any good or harm. I mean they have the phone backed up unless you never use it and somehow break the access it has to phone networks.

factory reset ia not enough. not even formatting your pc. to completely erase the data without leaving trace, do a secure erase / erasure

Do they record voice conversations?

encrypting your phone completely and then doing a factory reset does the job.

Like Q says, nothing is ever erased

Which is why HRC had to go to such lengths to destroy those emails...

@bint-min-cali they can listen

Yes bleachbit if you have anything illegal on it. Or some other secure erase.

And it still wasn't enough.

@Takebackourfreedom yea if you added a human touch people would trust it more

They say 7 dwarf computers have it all

Myaccount.google.com tells you everything that's on your phone you can go in and erase it but it will be there permanently

all tinhats should use DBAN as a method of completely erasing data on your pc. formatting is not enough

I believe you can rig a supermagnet to destroy a Harddrive. but I'd probably melt it to be on the safe side if I were truly worried. None of the stuff we need to handle to push Q and truth requires any of that though

Yes the internet is forever. Everything is backed up. Like Microsoft said. All your data belong to us. Something like that.

True. I just hate being tracked.

Me TOO! GRRRR

get Nordvpn, use the Tor network, and learn about how to really use the tor network, and realize the CIA have compromised tor.

@Dustin Nemos powering a drill very close to the drive can damage it. it creates a magnetic field

They basically took a chainsaw to the Fourth Amendment. It drives me nuts.

that is for hdds

Interesting soft

We are more controlled than the USSR ever thought possible.

I just say I hope they enjoy the view ..

1984 for sure

I'm still getting used to the idea

@hitchhiker no reason to be paranoid if youre not practicing anything illegal

The sad thing is....information is power...and information can put people's lives in danger....and also can save people's lives.

It irritates me so much that I actually wave at the ATM machine, just to taunt them a little bit.

Learn about mental palaces and other memory tricks. Then keep it all in your head.

@Dustin Nemos yes!
