Tucker Carlson · Big Tech Knows Your Next Move. Shawn Ryan on How to Disappear.

1. 1. Shawn Ryan became paranoid about surveillance after several of his interviewees were appointed to the Trump administration and then tried to influence him.
2. 2. Ryan's paranoia led him to seek a 'black phone' and eventually discover Glacier, a secure phone used by tier-one units and intelligence communities.
3. 3. The Glacier phone costs close to $10,000, with service costing even more, making it prohibitively expensive for most people.
4. 4. Glacier's hardware can delete a user's digital footprint and upload a fake one, and its messaging service prevents accidental leaks like the Signal incident.
5. 5. Many VPNs promoted by podcasters are owned by China, Israel, or Russia, and are essentially 'digital honey traps'.
6. 6. The Glacier app, launched two days ago, blocked 830 web trackers by 11 a.m. on the host's phone, even without social media apps installed.
7. 7. The Glacier app includes a burner number service that allows users to generate temporary numbers for different contacts and burn them if the relationship sours.
8. 8. Ryan does not do any online banking or transactions on his phone except ordering ammunition.
