Looks nice and interesting, but it needs more updates.

Six arrested at protest of Palantir, tech company building deportation software for Trump admin in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I don't understand why people are protesting. If you entered the country illegally, why are you surprised that they're kicking you out? In some countries, the punishment is far worse, but in the U.S., they just deport you and send you back to your home country. To me, that seems like a good deal. Many immigrants did it the right way, so it's not fair for those who didn't to get away with illegally entering the country. Palantir is a terrible company, though.

I don't know why you were downvoted. It looks stupid.

Sadly privacy is costly. It's the only option compared to the others

You can go on the site without javascript, but it breaks the UI

Major difference, as this is a carrier.

They have a special option called Obscura but it is only available via contact

One of Cape Obscura’s key features is identifier rotation. By regularly changing the identifiers your phone transmits—like IMSI, IMEI, and AdID—Cape makes it nearly impossible for trackers or malicious actors to follow your digital footprint. Source

US Privacy Focused Carrier Cape.co (cape.co)
 

There is this carrier I stumbled upon called Cape, calls itself America's privacy first carrier.

It claims to offer privacy and security and to only store necessary information.

We don’t collect your name, social security number, address, or other personal information. Any data we do receive (like call logs) is deleted after 60 days.

We secure your account against SIM swaps—attacks to steal your phone number and access your accounts—with modern cryptography protocols.

Our proprietary signaling protection blocks attempts by bad actors to intercept calls and SMS via outdated signaling protocols like SS7.

Voicemails can hold sensitive information like 2FA codes. Cape encrypts your voicemails so only you have access to them.

We don’t collect your name or billing address at checkout, and Cape never sees your credit card details.

Anonymous sign-up

They are also partnered with Proton

Here is a detailed list of what data they collect

They are currently offering a $1.50 trial for one month.

The CEO, John Doyle, was a communications specialist in the U.S. Army and worked for Palantir.

Your iPhone model can be found or narrowed down from a simple screenshot (lemmy.ml)
 

When you send a screenshot (even if height/width only is cropped) , the screenshot's width and height can be used to find the iPhone model of someone or narrowed down.

The most unique sized iPhone on the market right now is the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, as no other phone has the same width and height. So if you send a screenshot people will 100% know your exact phone. The regular iPhone 16 is common with the rest of the other phones and not unique.

If you send a screenshot from a iPhone XR, people can know if you using an iPhone 11 or iPhone XR since they have the same dimension which narrows down alot of options. (828x1792)

You can use this site here to view a list of all the dimensions. Click the iPhone's tab and sort the physical width or height.

If you don't want to expose your phone model, crop both width and height of each screenshot randomly. I would suggest cropping out the top of the phone as it shows your time if you care about that. Some sites like X have random inaccurate dimensions in uploaded screenshots, which is different from the original raw screenshot.

I haven't really checked with android phones, but it's probably the same thing.
