Banned by ai is a real weapon now, here in the states that goes deeper than apps. It goes into shopping algorithms that end up locking up funds when buying products in stores, raising prices at time of purchase, warehouses buy up stock of products that the target buys so that they cannot get what they need, then sell them at x3 or more at a third party storefront. There's more, but I digress. Great episode. Thanks, Efrat!

Above Phone looks interesting, would you recommend this with Mackie Cellular? Are there extra value being given from using Above Phone compared to just loading it on a pixel yourself? Also, hopefully you have a follow up part 2 with Paul Walsh. Thanks Efrat.
On the Chat Control part of the episode, the paper worth knowing is Bugs in Our Pockets. In October 2021, fourteen of the world's most prominent security researchers systematically analyzed proposed client-side scanning and concluded no viable implementation exists that doesn't create mass surveillance infrastructure.
Efrat, when you're going to bring Adam Back to your ep ?

I am mostly little bit in dely aboit hearing your podcasts and interviews. I love how direct you are, while at the same time being honest and genuine. Never lose that. It feels so right. What I heard about health is incredibly important. For many years, these ideas were almost considered conspiracy theories, but the way they are being approached now, through content like yours, is incredibly helpful. For quite some time now, I’ve also been changing my diet, my habits, and the way I expose myself to the sun. The results have been very positive, and I definitely feel that my body is doing much better. So when several different people independently experience and confirm the same results, there must be something that’s working! I also really liked what you said about the Matrix, because I feel the same way — like I have one foot inside it and the other outside. I think I actually like it that way, having the freedom to move between the two whenever I choose. Always a pleasure, motivation and inspiration to hear you. Take care!

Massive episode. From Palantir and the Digital Euro wallet to automated AI bans, the surveillance state is tightening. This is exactly why parallel tech like GrapheneOS, Nostr, and White Noise aren't optional anymore—they are the critical blueprints for digital survival. ⚡📱
