In this interview, David Dunn from privacy-focused cellular provider Cape breaks down what carriers actually collect, how threats like IMSI catchers and SIM swaps work, and how Cape is building a mobile network specifically designed to minimize that exposure. 📱 RESOURCES IN VIDEO • Cape: https://www.cape.co • Cape + Proton collab: https://www.cape.co/cape-and-proton 🔎 RELATED VIDEOS https://youtu.be/By3VOtPuWIY 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE Support our mission to defend digital rights for everyone: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs6KfncB4OV6Vug4o_bzijg/join • All Our Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/ 🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE • Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech • Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/ • Privacy Tools: https://privacytools.techlore.tech/ • VPN Comparison Chart: https://vpn.techlore.tech/ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 INTRO 00:01:01 WHAT CELLULAR CARRIERS SEE 00:02:50 THE CONCERNS 00:04:08 ABUSE OF DATA 00:05:28 LTT SIM SWAP ATTACK 00:06:33 PHONE CALL BEHIND-THE-SCENES 00:12:24 CELL TOWER TRIANGULATION & GEOFENCING 00:15:32 LOCATION SERVICES 00:16:25 CALL DATA & SMS RECORDS 00:19:24 SMS VS.
