When you use your car’s built-in speakerphone feature, the speakers in the car door reverberate, sending the sounds outside of the car. Maybe don’t do this while your car is parked. Everyone in the neighborhood or store parking lot can hear your very intimate or business-related conversation.

    YSK: When you have a phone conversation, there’s no privacy

    When you use your cellphone’s built-in call feature, the antennae inside it radiate, sending signals to your carrier. Maybe don’t do this while living under fascism. Everyone in the corporations or government can hear your very intimate or business-related conversation.

      YSK: When you have a conversation, there’s no privacy

      When you use your built-in vocal chords feature, the tissues in your throat reverberate, sending the sounds outside of your body. Maybe don’t do this while you’re in public. Everyone in the neighborhood or store parking lot can hear your very intimate or business-related conversation.

      No they don’t. Not by snooping on your cellphone’s radio signals anyway: the transmission to your carrier is encrypted.

      The bad guys can intercept your convo in a MITM attack by simulating a tower and getting your phone to connect to it.

      But they don’t even have to do that: all it takes is subpoenaing your carrier - with a national security letter to keep it quiet and make the unconstitutional a-okay - and your carrier will gladly hand you over to them like a pig on a roast spit.
