Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics
Archived at https://archive.is/Th1Sq
Thus, for the time being, if you're in the US or some other nation that has issues with women's health, do not take your phone to the abortion clinic with you, or turn it off and stuff it in a Faraday cage until you're at least a block away.
Or you can disable it from time to time at random when you're doing something innocuous, and obscure the pattern that way. Which is probably easier for the average person than figuring out a second method of tampering with their phone.
Maybe clinics should start mailing out Faraday pouches ahead of appointments?
I'm sure they don't need the extra expense but this is fucked up.
They could just work that into the cost of service. So you make an appointment and it costs whatever amount it costs. And that cost also includes the mailing to you of a Faraday bag.
In fact customer faraday cage are not protecting us, the only option would be to block waves from the very low to the very high, in other words, military grade. Good luck.
