  It really depends on if you are concerned about marketers / companies
tracking you via GPS, or (say) government tracking you via cell towers.

  The solution to one might be diligence in downloading and settings, while
the second could be a move to open GSM, switching to Wifi/voip, or ditching
a cell phone altogether.  The pain involved in getting rid of one's cell
phone is only temporary, I assure you. ;-)

Griffin

Re: [liberationtech] Cell phone tracking

[Steve Weis]

Regarding wifi-only phones, Euclid Analytics
(http://euclidanalytics.com/product/how/), has developed router add-on
software that can track consumers' mobile devices by MAC addresses.
The routers send that data back to Euclid for aggregation.

There are other companies working on similar ideas. I think the MAC
tracking component would be pretty straightforward to develop on your
own with an open router.

Even if you locked down the MAC address, there's ongoing research
about both mobile device physical fingerprinting and side channel
attacks via RF power analysis. I'd idly speculate you could
fingerprint a phone by some unique physical properties measurable via
RF.

As other people have said, GPS isn't necessary for cell phone tracking;
it can also be used in tracking but the tracking works well by
triangulation.  The tracking of Malte Spitz

https://www.ted.com/speakers/malte_spitz.html
http://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2011-03/data-protection-malte-spitz

used this process.

I'm curious whether people in some countries have had success using
wifi-only phones, including to make and receive calls by VoIP.  There
are ways that wifi can be more private in some ways in some situations
compared to the GSM network, but it's also much, much less ubiquitous.

Re: [liberationtech] Cell phone tracking

[Nathan of Guardian]

When you say tracking, are more concerned about physical location tracking, 
call tracking (who/when) or internet/app usage logging? Obviously all of them 
are problematic, but curious where your interests and anxieties lie.

Pull out the battery. That's the only thing that's guaranteed
to work.

Even with GPS switched off you can be triangulated by base
stations by receiving a silent text.

An entire Cryptocat translation is less than 300 words.

You can view translations here. There is an easy-to-use interface that can
help you input your translations:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/Cryptocat/resource/cryptocat/

*Priority* lies with the following languages. The rest is good to go:

   - Czech

Re: [liberationtech] Major Security Flaws in Tor Components

Hi Moritz,
My subject is hardly sensationalist. The paper purports to de-anonymize
hidden services, which is a big deal.

Thanks for pointing to areas of discussion — the vulnerabilities published
in the paper are still major with regards to Tor Hidden Services. :/

Technology is changing the nature of human rights

The Sentinel Project is excited to offer the brand new course Introduction to 
Technology for Human Rights 
running for five weeks from 10 June to 14 July 2013. Participants will learn 
about the relationship between technological tools and human rights through a 
combination of theory, principles, and real-world case studies from Kenya, 
Iran, and the Arab Spring. This will leave them equipped with the knowledge 
needed to incorporate technology into their own campaigns.

Activists are constantly adapting to use technology in new ways as it 
continually impacts the struggle to defend human rights worldwide. As mobile 
phone usage and internet access continue to rapidly increase, even in 
less-developed countries, technology has become an essential part of the 
landscape, influencing both the economy and civil society.

Who should take this course?

The ability to use new tools to their full potential while also recognizing 
their limitations and inherent risks has become essential for human rights 
defenders everywhere. From crisis mapping to social media to satellite imagery, 
people working in fields like human rights, international development, and 
journalism need to understand the opportunities and adversities they face when 
using technology to promote change.

Topics

  *   Week 1 – Introduction, History, and Principles
  *   Week 2 – The Mobile Revolution and Sub-Saharan Africa
  *   Week 3 – Mobilization, Citizen Journalism, and the Iran Election 2009
  *   Week 4 – Social Media, Mobile Apps, and the Arab Spring
  *   Week 5 – On the Horizon: The Future of Technology for Human Rights

For more details and to register, visit: 
https://sentinelproject.herokuapp.com/course

Format

Course content is delivered through a combination of audio lectures, slides, 
videos, readings, small projects, and live video discussions held through 
Google+ Hangout. Everything has been structured to accommodate participants 
with varying work schedules and across different time zones.

Nadim should have made this more clear: All translations and texts are
readily available. Anyone can add or refine translations of sentences.
There's no need to send anything else, everything is at the following link:
