    Great example of slippery slope privacy invasion in action. These stingray device were introduced for “counter terrorism” because who would support terrorists.

      Everyone supports terrorists. The difference is if you support the state doing terrorism. If you’re using violence for political gain, that’s the definition of terrorism. States do that all the time. That’s one of the primary roles of police in the US in fact.

      Tbh, I do. I do support terrorists. Funnily enough, they’re not rarely the more moral party (in my kinda twisted sense of morality, anyway).

      Not sure if this is a thing on other android /iOS devices,but this setting is very much appreciated on graphrneOS

      And you can set your network to ONLY use LTE and check the towers your phone is using by using the hidden testing setting on Android by entering

      *#*#4636#*#*
      

      on your phones default dialer.

      And this app for android is particularly useful:

      https://f-droid.org/packages/com.craxiom.networksurvey

      Scans cell towers, WiFi signals, Bluetooth, and notifies if a new tower is found.

    You can also just access cell infra operator log. I can imagine they have a realtime API.
