Her writeup on what to say and what to use instead is more practical than it sounds.<br/><br/>&#34;Not a VoIP number. It demanded a real SIM-based cell number.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;It becomes a unique identifier tying all our activities together.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;Cell numbers record your location in what’s known as a Home Location Registry, and this becomes a map of everywhere you’ve been.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;Telecom providers are notorious for selling your location data.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;I don’t currently have a working number.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;They just don’t like VoIP.&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;You do not have to make it easy for them.&#34;<br/><br/>The number you reuse everywhere is the thread that stitches all the other data about you together.<br/><br/>@naomibrockwell 2026-10-03T15:30:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8m57skdwq88f8zwwgn23jzyfk3d0ny66tq5jmydkvzq4er9946vszyp3dcze6s5r6l83kzesc4q4f5acdnpl7gl4grxxhnlgm6lz9sycj5yhdx75 Account recovery is the front door most people leave open.<br/><br/>A strong password protects the login. The recovery phone number bypasses it. Whoever controls that number, through a SIM swap or a port-out, controls the account.<br/><br/>The recovery number is the account. 2026-10-03T15:14:27Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvcvg6r9ph57e2ycrw86sjdx2e7awqavjgmxxfuxlk0rxlqwh4gjczyp3dcze6s5r6l83kzesc4q4f5acdnpl7gl4grxxhnlgm6lz9sycj56tyc7u Something worth being precise about: GrapheneOS does not sandbox your modem.<br/><br/>The cellular baseband is separate firmware with its own processor.

Signal for everyday chats. SimpleX when you want zero identifier at all.<br/>2. Private browser + search. VPN or Tor for anything sensitive.<br/>3. Proton or Tuta email, with aliases so you never reuse the real address.<br/>4. A number not tied to your identity for signups.<br/>5.
