Big tech has the ability to identify a user typing content by analyzing your typing. Not just your writing style, verbosity, structure, grammar, vocabulary and spelling (static document analysis), but also your pace, typing rhythm, etc. (live dynamic analysis) Every keystroke including the delete and backspace buttons. This tech is real. Why do you think google docs exists but to sample everything? Not just what you write but how you write and how you type. Every google search is compromising (real time search suggestions implies real time analysis of every keystroke). If you really want to go next level, you should type everything into notepad to circumvent the real time typing analysis, then copy and paste. Deliberately alter your style, grammar, vocab, to circumvent the static analysis - its easier to dumb down than it is to dumb up.
Great comment... timely. The part about changing style is ok for some at times, but we thus inhibit our self-expression. Ok until we get laws in place, if feasible.
@@samsunga6927 laws just make you think your safer. In reality THEY think you aren't paying attention then THEY go nuts on you. Second laws don't apply to the CIA. Laws are totally meaningless. We have over 200 years if history to prove that over and over and over........
This man speaks the truth. Big tech must be fought on every level, technologically, financially, culturally, legally, and politically. They are literally Skynet or the Borg. Far to much information, power and control is in their hands because of popular ignorance.
Rob, Great report. Thank you! I'm not an IT guru savvy person, but some of the 11 points seem understandable for me. Is this whole thing doable for non-IT people??? I really think I should start making these changes! Do I understand correctly,... for a not IT expert... It seems your products will PARTLY help me, the rest is IT guru heavy lifting... I guess the easy part is investing in some hardware and a few changes: 1. VPN (if so can I plug my Orbi into it?) 2. change to De-Googled phones (do they have good cameras?) 3. change to Linux PC's (this seems really hard and expensive?) 4. cancel my google maps GPS 5. set up all my emails to flow through you email service (MAYBE I should just change my emails altogether, is that BEST; and use a new brax email address??? ALSO, won't my Tesla Model Y software & GPS hopelessly blow all this apart for me??? The tough part as a non-guru is getting help for all the other techno details you raised on your 11 points, along with some routine monthly maintenance 🤓. Cheers, Eric
How about searching for something on your phone and not having Facebook yourself but your search items show up in your spouses FB ads and online search algorithms. They link us because they know we are married and live in the same household.
@@jvlacy It's worse than that. I have not had a Facebook account in over a year now but my wife still has her one, as well as a lot of my friends. I can guarantee that they are posting photos of various social events, and they will have named me in some of those photos, which means that Facebook still knows something about me - even without an account.
Let me give you an example of behavioral fingerprinting. A year ago I spent a night in a hotel 80 miles away from my home. My phone was turned off for 24hrs before arrival. I never checked in. One of my two friends did that. Okay, now what I did was I did three searches: two songs and one funny video on a smart tv in the hotel room. How surprised I was to realize all thumbnails of suggested videos included unique videos I had seen in the past on my phone, including political ones. That was was creepy AF.
@@commentingisawasteoftime7195 it's false. and with COVID; Zoom, Facetime, Microsoft Teams, etc., a camera on a TVs is a legitimate feature.

Yup ot beginning to be odd..its not worth it..its basically garbage if it want to know details of people lives..not even worth having anymore..this world is getting strange..wat would they want to watch poor people for..as they are billion n triollionares...no decent human would do such..

Hey Rob, you should consider uploading your content on alternative streaming websites aside from UA-cam, considering they are owned by Google. In this way, you are not indirectly supporting the corporation that doesn’t align with your privacy standards.
No, YOU fight for your right to privacy and freedom - he just tells you how to do it, but nothing changes until you actually invest time and effort to make changes for yourself. Sitting there just consuming video content achieves nothing unless you do something with what you have learnt.
Now UA-cam creators are getting strikes from 10 years back. Makes me want to go move to the middle of nowhere and no internet or phone signal. Landline only.
I've had my Brax de-googled Pixel 3 for 6 months now and it's still not on my google device list, but I've kept it clean. It's nice not to be tracked and listened too.
There is no way the average person like myself could ever evade being spied on by devices. I am coming to the conclusion that if I want privacy the devices must go.

Rob, thank you again! 🤗 Can I ask? Is it a good idea to use an old laptop for privacy after installing Linux instead of Windows? Or there's no point because it'll be easily seen that it's still the same old laptop, just with a new OS?
Suppose we created a new Google account(s) with a public password. And then EVERYONE to log in with that account. Thus creating an account with tens or hundreds of thousands of devices associated with it. Would that help throw a monkeywrench in the machine?
@@terrydaktyllus1320 It does not allow people to see each other. Rather, it gives you privacy because the people buying those demographics now see you want to buy a Ford. Ergh, Honda. In NJ, ergh, AZ. And you're searching for a cardiologist, or is that podiatrist? The one account is one identity that screws the hell out of demographic tracking, by showing pretty much every option to the buyer. Who no longer knows if you are Jack or Jill. Now create enough random incidents of that account, and all the datamining churns up garbage.
A friend was traveling around the country years ago. He stopped in libraries and used the computers to create FB accounts using free email addresses and free internet phone numbers, “liked” dozens of random things, followed random people. He never had a real account. He just wanted to muddy the water. He thought it was creepy that FB connected contacts.
This is really shocking content! I am about to transit to a non Google world but escaping seems harder than I thought... Thanks for sharing that.... Gives me new things to consider
I'm still not gone from Google after almost a year watching channels like this one. Well, even using youtube alone is the biggest reason. I also realised that I used my google mail address on way too many accounts. Take it slow, isolate the things you do with browsers, use tempmails when you can, otherwise just try not to get everything linked to your existing data that google knows (like phone numbers, mail addresses). If you cannot stop using OS's like Windows or Googled Android etc. just try to minimize the data they collect. Don't overdo it. If they want to track you, you can't do anything anyways.
Hey Rob, are these companies able to track a specific Ubikey (2FA device) in order to link identities/accounts? Would you in theory need one for each identity?
If you've not de-6006l3d the phone, they still have your identity. All you've done above is made it a bit more difficult for them to see who is linked to you. However, it's a "moot point" if other people have you in their private contacts on their smartphones. The best thing is to not have a visible identity on the phone in the first place.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 I only use a smartphone for data without any contacts, photos, etc. For phone calls I have a second smartphone on which I have deactivated mobile data reception. The contacts were on a list on paper. After every call I delete the call data on the phone.
@@karlbesser1696 Sorry, it's not a code. YT seems to delete a lot of my comments because they contain certain words, so I hide them using numbers instead of letters. Think about the name of the parent company of this web site, and if you've watched some of Rob's video, he uses that word to describe removing that company's apps from your phone. This is the lengths you have to go to now with their stupid automated algorithm here now!
It occurs to me that since manufacturers usually will take the shortest path to market and that small embedded android chipsets are readily available, that it could be reasonable to assume that some flip phones which have bluetooth for hands free use, but don't have WiFi or apps for location or web, but might actually be hiding an android operating system and be participating in location tracking and cross device tracking. And the location tracking for 911 emergency calls might be always enabled either due to lazy developers or even purposely, and therefore can't be turned off. Have you investigated this?
@@robbraxmantech smartphones are called smart for a reason. In 2021, either you use them or you don't use smartphones at all but I don't know many people who will take the second option.
@Ed Ducate You are thinking too much and demonstrating that you don't even understand the basics of privacy. It's very simple. If you have to carry about a mobile phone AND you want as much privacy as possible, then: 1. Do not have any social media on that phone. 2. Even better, wean yourself off of Faecesbook and WhatsCrapp and close those accounts. 3. D36006l3 your phone. Those three steps alone get your privacy to at least 75% of where it needs to be. Why do you need to "spoof" anything if you don't send out the information in the first place? I don't understand your logic, I think you're trying to impress others in a public place when you're just talking nonsense.
Maybe there exists a small Arduino that can do virtual serial COM to a PC (BT or WiFi), but with a mobile interface and SIM card socket and can do digital texting without KaiOS. Assuming the Arduino mobile interface doesn't embed KaiOS, of course. Then maybe it could be possible to do texting based 2FA from a PC over a virtual COM port without any cross device telemetry. But that also assumes that you don't have any other devices near you that can enter IMEI snoop mode (such as a mobile signal booster).
Hey Rob, long term viewer here. Not sure if you are aware of this shocking discovery. I took win 10 apart bit by bit and upon installing windows right at the begining they take a full picture of you without knowing! They have been spraying us with nano particle bl chip sets. Bixbi knows your heart rate also some distros have a function where the music volume is changed depepnding on where we are. They have heaaaps of sensors.
I can't reach people today. They just continue to buy new gadgets because of price and familiarity . Now they are getting Chromebooks. One word comes across from them after trying to make it useful: disappointment.
I am getting thousands of spam calls on the phone number I used for the authentication now.... They have to be the ones that sold the number since I was not getting the calls until I had to "update" all of my accounts. Love your videos
Wow !---this is great stuff ! Thank you!-----I am hopeless at most techy stuff, but I will try to keep up with at least some of what you say. Thanks !!....A
You are brilliant, sir. Thank you for all the information you share. Now you have me wondering if your yacht's navigation system ultimately "calls home" to Google as well.
Another great video Rob. We are Zucked! I have many old devices still logged in ... ugh Would love to buy a de googled shirt. When I make discretionary purchases I like to spend my money on made in USA products. Do you think you can ask t-spring to print some shirts from Bay-Side t-shirts they are made in USA and I am wearing one now😁
So rather than just "giving up" and asking for a t-shirt, why don't you take the time to log out those old devices and remove them from any 6006l3 device lists? Nothing will change unless you take the time to start helping yourself with privacy.
@@squirlmy They provide a platform because we're a product that they've bought and will sell again to third parties. All that data we give them. So valuable. You're not really that dense, are you?
Rob, is it possible to uninstall WEA on a phone. I bought a new phone and was shocked that I could not turn off the premissions. It also reserves the right to read and change your texts, and, start your device. I can't uninstall it. It will only allow you to silence Amber alerts, but they are still running.
And have you done anything to "move away from 6006l3" yourself yet? Or are you just telling everyone else to do it? Nothing changes unless YOU put in time and effort to learn new privacy techniques and apply them. Everything else is "just words".
This sounds weird but it's very real as a matter of physics: your household speakers can be hacked and turned into microphones especially with algorithms and "AI" used to remaster and amplify the low quality signal
thank you Rob, you have confirmed much of my suspicions, i am not just paranoid i.e. why does my old 15yo plain desktop pc know my exact position. Being just an average pleb, i have tried to keep my online identities separate, but have had to give up because all the big tech firms are forcing me to comply with their new airtight i/d techniques and i have limited resources to buy multiple equipment, to keep everything separate. The latest buzz A.I. is being promoted as being good for the consumer, when it is obviously a thousand times more useful for big tech and governments, to understand YOU.
@@MadCowMusic but, password is easy to be stolen, and not everyone will be able to afford to get an extra phone for 2FA. I don't believe 2FA is originally created to benefit the large corporation.
There is the option for TOTP (Time Based One Time Password) which is the in the Google Authentication app and Authy. So the tech exists. But they don't allow this because it deprives them of Cross device tracking with the IMEI of the phone
I use Linux as much as possible. Kodachi uses the TOR network, has a built-in VPN and erases all tracks on the computer. FREE and runs off a flash drive or virtual machine. Thanks

Fire is the like tho.
Love this channel!!
This is really shocking content! I am about to transit to a non Google world but escaping seems harder than I thought... Thanks for sharing that.... Gives me new things to consider
His previous videos give you things to consider. Why not spend some time doing your own research and going through them?
I'm still not gone from Google after almost a year watching channels like this one. Well, even using youtube alone is the biggest reason.
I also realised that I used my google mail address on way too many accounts.
Take it slow, isolate the things you do with browsers, use tempmails when you can, otherwise just try not to get everything linked to your existing data that google knows (like phone numbers, mail addresses).
If you cannot stop using OS's like Windows or Googled Android etc. just try to minimize the data they collect. Don't overdo it. If they want to track you, you can't do anything anyways.
Thank you for the excellent information 😀 👍
Hey Rob, are these companies able to track a specific Ubikey (2FA device) in order to link identities/accounts? Would you in theory need one for each identity?
Never sinc devices, no matter what.
Thanks Rob. ✔️A simple but good idea is not to save or use any private contacts on the smartphone.
If you've not de-6006l3d the phone, they still have your identity. All you've done above is made it a bit more difficult for them to see who is linked to you. However, it's a "moot point" if other people have you in their private contacts on their smartphones.
The best thing is to not have a visible identity on the phone in the first place.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 I only use a smartphone for data without any contacts, photos, etc. For phone calls I have a second smartphone on which I have deactivated mobile data reception. The contacts were on a list on paper. After every call I delete the call data on the phone.
@@karlbesser1696 Are the phones de6006l3d or not? If they are not, you are still being tracked. Whatever else you do does not matter.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 I'm sorry, but this phone code de ... doesn't tell me anything. I am an old man.😀
@@karlbesser1696 Sorry, it's not a code. YT seems to delete a lot of my comments because they contain certain words, so I hide them using numbers instead of letters.
Think about the name of the parent company of this web site, and if you've watched some of Rob's video, he uses that word to describe removing that company's apps from your phone.
This is the lengths you have to go to now with their stupid automated algorithm here now!
It occurs to me that since manufacturers usually will take the shortest path to market and that small embedded android chipsets are readily available, that it could be reasonable to assume that some flip phones which have bluetooth for hands free use, but don't have WiFi or apps for location or web, but might actually be hiding an android operating system and be participating in location tracking and cross device tracking. And the location tracking for 911 emergency calls might be always enabled either due to lazy developers or even purposely, and therefore can't be turned off. Have you investigated this?
The flip phone OS is KaiOS which is in fact affiliated with (partially owned) by Google
@@robbraxmantech smartphones are called smart for a reason. In 2021, either you use them or you don't use smartphones at all but I don't know many people who will take the second option.
@@danteerskine7678 I'm rapidly favouring the latter option.
For me, new tech and the tech industry has reached it's point of diminishing returns.
@Ed Ducate You are thinking too much and demonstrating that you don't even understand the basics of privacy. It's very simple. If you have to carry about a mobile phone AND you want as much privacy as possible, then:
1. Do not have any social media on that phone.
2. Even better, wean yourself off of Faecesbook and WhatsCrapp and close those accounts.
3. D36006l3 your phone.
Those three steps alone get your privacy to at least 75% of where it needs to be.
Why do you need to "spoof" anything if you don't send out the information in the first place? I don't understand your logic, I think you're trying to impress others in a public place when you're just talking nonsense.
Maybe there exists a small Arduino that can do virtual serial COM to a PC (BT or WiFi), but with a mobile interface and SIM card socket and can do digital texting without KaiOS. Assuming the Arduino mobile interface doesn't embed KaiOS, of course. Then maybe it could be possible to do texting based 2FA from a PC over a virtual COM port without any cross device telemetry. But that also assumes that you don't have any other devices near you that can enter IMEI snoop mode (such as a mobile signal booster).
Hey Rob, long term viewer here. Not sure if you are aware of this shocking discovery. I took win 10 apart bit by bit and upon installing windows right at the begining they take a full picture of you without knowing! They have been spraying us with nano particle bl chip sets. Bixbi knows your heart rate also some distros have a function where the music volume is changed depepnding on where we are. They have heaaaps of sensors.
Thank you for the work you do!
Thank you. We really appreciate what you're doing.
I can't reach people today. They just continue to buy new gadgets because of price and familiarity . Now they are getting Chromebooks. One word comes across from them after trying to make it useful: disappointment.
I am getting thousands of spam calls on the phone number I used for the authentication now.... They have to be the ones that sold the number since I was not getting the calls until I had to "update" all of my accounts. Love your videos
Answer them and curse the callers.
Wow !---this is great stuff ! Thank you!-----I am hopeless at most techy stuff, but I will try to keep up with at least some of what you say.
Thanks !!....A
THANKS FOR ALL THOSE IMPORTANT INFORMATION...IT IS GREAT HELP
Think of it as a game - thank you for re-framing it that way!
Although tech has surpassed my full understanding, I find hope in this video and your willingness to share your expertise. Thank you, sir.
You are brilliant, sir. Thank you for all the information you share. Now you have me wondering if your yacht's navigation system ultimately "calls home" to Google as well.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is quality content.
It's only "quality content" when you learn from it and actually do something with it.
Thank you for these videos
Thank you for this information
Another great video Rob. We are Zucked!
I have many old devices still logged in ... ugh
Would love to buy a de googled shirt. When I make discretionary purchases I like to spend my money on made in USA products. Do you think you can ask t-spring to print some shirts from Bay-Side t-shirts they are made in USA and I am wearing one now😁
So rather than just "giving up" and asking for a t-shirt, why don't you take the time to log out those old devices and remove them from any 6006l3 device lists? Nothing will change unless you take the time to start helping yourself with privacy.
The reach of these tech companies is so obviously evil, I can't believe there are people who think it's just "business as usual"!
but, why are you commenting on UA-cam at all? and why do they provide a platform for this guy, if they are so evil?
@@squirlmy They provide a platform because we're a product that they've bought and will sell again to third parties. All that data we give them. So valuable. You're not really that dense, are you?
You da man Rob 💪
Everyone else is like....oooohh, new iPhone, I'm over here trying to get them out of my life as much as possible
Rob, is it possible to uninstall WEA on a phone. I bought a new phone and was shocked that I could not turn off the premissions. It also reserves the right to read and change your texts, and, start your device. I can't uninstall it. It will only allow you to silence Amber alerts, but they are still running.
Google also does Linguistic Fingerprinting.
Not on a de6006l3d phone.
We can't move away from Google fast enough!
And have you done anything to "move away from 6006l3" yourself yet? Or are you just telling everyone else to do it? Nothing changes unless YOU put in time and effort to learn new privacy techniques and apply them. Everything else is "just words".
Sounds like a burner phone like criminals regularly use, paid for with cash, is the easiest way to go.
As long as you only use each burner phone 1 time.
Like Eric Trump...
PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE NICE & NEW INFORMATIVE VIDEOS LIKE THESE. THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL FOR EVERYONES SAFETY. THANK YOU.
Rob don't forget about RING!
Ring is a definite no-no. Everyone should be skeptical about any home surveillance system they install.
he has done a vid about those horrible doorbell cams
This sounds weird but it's very real as a matter of physics:
your household speakers can be hacked and turned into microphones
especially with algorithms and "AI" used to remaster and amplify the low quality signal
Thanks brother.
I'm feeling trapped by Google tech.
Then dont use ANY tech, and viola, you will no longer be trapped by tech. Simple.
Hey Rob do you miss Persiscope?? I miss the old school videos
So glad I stumbled upon you😃
Thanks, I was unaware of this modality of 'leaks' .
"If you do not have a do not have a degoogled phone, and do not have a VPN, then you basically zucked" 😂
thank you Rob, you have confirmed much of my suspicions, i am not just paranoid i.e. why does my old 15yo plain desktop pc know my exact position. Being just an average pleb, i have tried to keep my online identities separate, but have had to give up because all the big tech firms are forcing me to comply with their new airtight i/d techniques and i have limited resources to buy multiple equipment, to keep everything separate. The latest buzz A.I. is being promoted as being good for the consumer, when it is obviously a thousand times more useful for big tech and governments, to understand YOU.
So what you think about using HUAWEI devices without GMS? Is it good for privacy?
Super thank you for the privacy tips
Scary stuff from the big tech!!!!!
Thank you for enlightenment.
You're epic brother 💪😎
Which other method do you think is as good 2FA or better?
Maybe just an oldschool password or an extra phone used only for 2FA??
@@MadCowMusic but, password is easy to be stolen, and not everyone will be able to afford to get an extra phone for 2FA. I don't believe 2FA is originally created to benefit the large corporation.
There is the option for TOTP (Time Based One Time Password) which is the in the Google Authentication app and Authy. So the tech exists. But they don't allow this because it deprives them of Cross device tracking with the IMEI of the phone
@@robbraxmantech ohhh I understand now
I use Linux as much as possible. Kodachi uses the TOR network, has a built-in VPN and erases all tracks on the computer. FREE and runs off a flash drive or virtual machine. Thanks
Stand up! Fight!! 🥊
They advertise to me based on what I'm thinking. How can I stop them from reading my thoughts and giving me headaches?
Same lol, it's mad creepy!
put your head in a Faraday cage?..................
So we gotta wait for Pine to be free at last.
