I like going offline. For example, I've got an older car which I will likely keep for a long time because it is dependable/reliable and is completely offline. I've resisted having Alexa or any other "convenient" (aka intrusive) type thing in my home. I like paying cash and have resisted all payment apps on my phone (although using credit/debit cards is obviously not offline). I'm seriously considering getting a dumb flip phone, especially if the government continues to spy on its citizens.

The govt. will continue to spy on its citizens. most govts. do that and have done that since Genesis.

Actually I’m sorry to say getting a dumb flip phone won’t help much.

for an uneducated observer, why not? I understand all voice is digital anyways, but wouldn't not having other data, camera, etc. help?
