Yeah wasnt there that one untrackable phone that ended up being a honey pot for drug dealers and the like? The government had a full backdoor and scooped all the data or something like that.
Think of it like this, if everyone is wearing the same general outfit, white or black top, with blue jeans and some kind of sneaker, the woman wearing a bright red dress will draw attention. So if everyone uses iphone and android, then when you show up connecting from a offuscated device identifier you are signaling you have data, you have tried to hide it and now they know you are either up to something or you have valuable data and now you are a target, camo in the digital age basically, better to blend than stand out
Fair point. Sometimes blending in is better done by actually blending in. Using something totally different will light up like a Christmas tree to anyone spying on you
That's my life, actually. A secret weapon becomes a target if exposed. Better to be an anonymous gifter, imo. It's certainly possible to use technology and still choose options that allow the least amount of notice. Being unremarkable is a great disguise.
