We all have one. Do we trust it? What if we get an emergency alert? Do we act on it, especially in light of today's latest 'news' on FEMA possibly getting hacked unless they get a software update? (https://elzorama.com/livenewss/news/128663/FEMA-warns-emergency-alert-systems-could-be-hacked-to-transmit-fake-messages-unless-software-is-updated) Is that fake news or a message the black hats are trying to get out there to confuse everyone? Are you allowing your phone to do automatic updates? I personally do not allow my phone to ID me with facial or fingerprint recognition. What are you all doing to protect yourself from something you have with you 24/7? Do you have any advise, gut instincts, insider info on what may be in store concerning cell phones? We have to assume Verizon is compromised since they dropped OAN. What about the others? Are they for us or against us? And then there's 5G...

They’ve been listening and tracking us for decades if not longer. I don’t do the facial ID nor have any payment cards on mine which they’re constantly reminding me to do. They’re trying to force an upgrade on me now. Not gonna do it. As @289m said they’re the ones on the run now.
Google/'They' are collating all of the information about you, and has AI clarifying it into a perfect analysis of your life and the working of your mind. It doesn't need constant facial recognition (they can compare your geotracking to public cameras anyway). If your fingerprints exist (either through legal troubles, payday loans, gun purchases, etc.), then that is already in 'your file'; your DNA profile is also connected if you've given anyone access to your blood (this includes the labwork to check your cholesterol and whatnot, and private geneaology companies). Your phone is listening to your verbal conversations, analyzing your searches and purchases (your diet and brand preferences, what marketing style works on you), and connecting your proximity to other people's phones to extrapolate your social and business connections. You aren't granted the ability to disable any of these features. The thing they care least about is your name; it's in there as well, but it's your unique identifier number that they gather the info around.
I used to get the monthly EBS test alert until recent update on phone. I read up on it and discovered that the Presidential Alert on EBS is the only alert that cannot be blocked. I'm not worried just patiently waiting.
