We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications. They indiscriminately capture call metadata, location data, and app traffic from every phone in range. So relying on one specific app? Probably not the safest move.
And just a reminder to this administration: these devices can be detected by analyzing wireless signal data—just saying.
They’re often deployed to monitor protesters, track movements, and suppress dissent.
So if you’re wondering why we choose to communicate out in the open—it’s not about making a statement. It’s about staying safe. This isn’t new. Remember the ham radio? We’re not reinventing the wheel—we’re just modernizing the resistance of the past.
