4th Amendment & Third Party Doctrine -
Key issue the court had was the third party doctrine and how it impacts 4th amendment.
Unites States v Miller, 1976 - A person has no reasonable expectation of privacy as it relates to banking and bank records.
The third-party doctrine says there is no expectation of privacy in information voluntarily provided to others.
On June 22, 2018, as the 2017-18 term wound down, the Supreme Court released its long-awaited decision in Carpenter v. U.S.[1] The Court held, 5-4, that when the police obtain cell site location information (CSLI) about a person's cell phone usage, that action constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment.
https://www.radford.edu/content/cj-bulletin/home/august--2018--vol--3--no--2-/carpenter-v--u-s----obtaining-extensive-cell-site-location-data-.html#:~:text=On%20June%2022%2C%202018%2C%20as,search%20under%20the%20Fourth%20Amendment.

DEF CON 31 - An Audacious Plan to Halt the Internet's Ensh*ttification - Cory Doctorow
The enshittification of the internet follows a predictable trajectory: first, platforms are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

The Hacktivist, Award Winning Short Film Documentary:
Celebrity hacker Andrew 'Bunnie' Huang first clashed with US tech giant Microsoft for teaching others how to modify the Xbox. Almost 20 years later, he is suing the US government to push for the right to use and own technology, all while creating hackable hardware with other tech superstars like whistleblower Edward Snowden and firmware hacker Sean Cross.
Bunnie is convinced that, âIf you canât hack what you have, you donât own it.â This documentary tinkers with the hackerâs mind on issues around transparency and privacy in the hardware world, all while Bunnie dismantles his childhood, his philosophy, and his controversy.

Correction on Tornado Cash
Tornado Cash was a DeFi app for mixing Ethereum. I said on the previous episode that it was for Bitcoin but I want to be clear that it was being used for Ethereum mixing. Essentially the system worked using smart contracts to send and receive ethereum.
When you deposit your funds, it issues a receipt to withdraw the same amount. It breaks the chain of ownership or anonymize your funds by breaking the connection to the original wallet.
So because the US Treasury has sanctioned the use of Tornado Cash then anyone who has received any ethereum could be sanctioned. But Tornado Cash is still functioning because it runs on the block-chain and is accessible via IPFS network. IPFS is a peer-to-peer (p2p) storage network. Content is accessible through peers located anywhere in the world, that might relay information, store it, or do both. IPFS knows how to find what you ask for using its content address rather than its location.
These three principles build upon each other to enable the IPFS ecosystem. Let's start with content addressing and the unique identification of content.

I'm trying out a new privacy service called "PGPP by INVISV. - https://invisv.com/articles/pretty-good-phone-privacy.html
New Privacy Products
- INVISV - PGPP
What Is Pretty Good Phone Privacy?Mobile Network Privacy: Mobile Pro and Mobile CorePretty Good Phone Privacy (PGPP) is a fundamentally new type of service that gives you private mobile connectivity. In traditional mobile networks, you are identifiable by your IMSI, a permanent, globally unique identifier that is stored in your SIM card and sent to mobile towers when your phone is on. Because your IMSI never changes, and your phone connects to towers based on location and signal strength, mobile networks can track who you are and where you are located at all times. Because of this, the IMSI leaves an indelible location history, which has been used by mobile providers and numerous others, for virtually every person on the planet. IMSIs are also targeted and captured by third-party attackers using devices known as IMSI catchers, also known as Stingrays, to track a userâs presence and activity in a given location.
Because the IMSI number is tied to the SIM and used during communication with cell towers, it can also be used to track the movements of the user. In that case, the cell towersâ location is used to triangulate your position.
Theoretical experiment I"m going to try.
Purchase a used Pixel with crypto or cash
Register Silent Link eSIM - paid in BTC (after running through Whirlpool)
Install PGPP - register with a prepaid debit card in cash after it's been sitting for 3-6 months.
Alternatively, one might be able to use a Mint SIM - bought in cash at a Best Buy, and topped up with prepaid cash debit cards.
