Which is better for privacy when making calls from home:
1.) Mobile phone with Replicant.
2.) Landline phone with Verizon.
3.) VOIP phone with Comcast
My guess is that number 1 is at least as good as the others.
So ultimately my improvement in my phone use is that I will avoid non-free
software and use Replicant instead. The surveillance is still an issue if I
carry the mobile phone with me when I am away from home; But it will be a
while before I will give up taking a mobile phone with me.
For privacy from Comcast in general, I can use Tor.
As always, I am interested to hear what people think about any of this. Since
VOIP seems no more private than using a mobile phone at home, however, this
thread can be closed from my point of view.
