It's a code.

Someone could call it the mark of the beast that follows that device around everywhere.

And that's how...

The tech companies track where that device goes to figure out proximity for advertising, sales, and who you're interacting with in your schedule.

The average kid in America, by the time they reach the age of 13, has had 72 million data points collected on them by big tech.

Wow.

Using that advertising ID.

Wow.

So again, we did Unplugged as a way for people to still communicate in the world, but not be giving off all their digital data to big tech, to people that really don't like them.

Yeah.

So you can use pretty much all the same apps that you're used to, but they're not providing you the customized experience because it's not leaking, sending all of your data out every night.

We did a side-by-side test between our phone and Google and Apple's.

And the Google and Apple phones seem to wake up between 2 and 3 at night, and they have this huge, like a 50-megabyte data dump.

that is sent out from the phone every night.

Basically, that phone, phoning home, sending off your preferences, everything you've done that day.

Ours doesn't.

Wow.

Wow.

In the book, The Means of Control, it talks about a DHS agent interviewed about using some of this early ad tech stuff.

And he demoed it and he tested it on himself.
