See https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2021/01/cell-phone-location-privacy.html "“Pretty Good Phone Privacy” (PGPP) protects both user identity and user location using the existing cellular networks. It protects users from fake cell phone towers (IMSI-catchers) and surveillance by cell providers. It’s a clever system. The players are the user, a traditional mobile network operator (MNO) like AT&T or Verizon, and a new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). MVNOs aren’t new. They’re intermediaries like Cricket and Boost." -- tOM Trottier On 22 Jan 2021 at 13:15 re:"[linux] anyone using a privacy-prot..." Ian! D. Allen(Ian! D.
