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.
My neighbours have long conversations in their cars. I can hear every word the distant party is saying.
I think the audio levels get set higher in cars to combat road noise and the missing sound spectrum of phone calls, because it sure is loud.
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.

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.
There’s this talk, where researchers found major US cellular networks decrypting people’s conversations at the tower then broadcasting them unencrypted to the entire continent via satellite:
Subpoena?!? those were for the before times. Now just say you’re investigating a murder while looking for a woman calling abortion clinics, no legal access, review or consequences for breaking the law.
True enough, but can you more closely follow the format of OP for my amusement? I cut the part about collection centers for rhythm ;)
It’s interesting how this has blown up to basically “because the government could if it wanted to get to your personal information, fuck it, just tell everyone!
I would way rather my neighbors know what I’m up to than every institutional creeper with enough $ or a shiny enough badge
Use Signal and use headphones
Isn’t it unsafe to use headphones while driving?
The OP’s scenario is doing this while parked. While you’re driving it wouldn’t matter so much because there are only so many words somebody can hear when you pass them at 24-45mph
Who said anything about driving
Depends on the car probably, and volume.
Because you think your car’s vibrations is the biggest privacy problem when you make a phone call?
??? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here.
I’m telling you that the car doors act like a loudspeaker, amplifying the call outside if the car. Everyone in the neighborhood can hear your private conversation about your affair, or urologist appointment,or whatever. If you think sitting in your car talking over bluetooth is going to give you some privacy, it’s quite the opposite.
I have never walked past a parked car with the windows up and heard what was being said inside unless the person inside was yelling.
I have. Lots of times.
Well maybe you should use them more wisely…
Using the car speakers as a hands free set, I can hear every word the person on the other end of the phone is saying from about 30 metres away.
I cant hear the person sat in the car but
Take your pick from the phone or the car (if newer than 2015ish).
