This App Makes You Disappear Off the Internet 🤯
The video demonstrates how websites collect extensive tracking data through cookies even when users decline them, and presents Glacier, a privacy app that uses burner phone numbers, VPNs, and secure DNS to help users disappear from the internet. The creators recommend using iOS devices as the most privacy-conscious platform choice.
Summary
The creators conduct an experiment on a medical website to illustrate the scope of data collection and tracking on the internet. Despite explicitly rejecting cookies, they discovered over 900 cookies were installed on their device from a single search on one medical site. Upon examining these cookies, they found that user data including IP addresses and visited websites were being transmitted to servers in Russia, revealing the extent of covert data harvesting that occurs regardless of user consent. Concerned about their digital privacy and the connections they maintain online, the creators consulted with a company called Glacier that specializes in digital disappearance and privacy protection. Glacier's primary recommendation was to keep one's real phone number confidential and private. The Glacier application provides users with tools including burner phone numbers (available with any desired area code), a secure American VPN service, and secure DNS configuration. The creators successfully installed the application on an iPhone. In their final recommendation, they advocate for using iOS devices and Apple products as the most effective approach to privacy protection, with an expert from Glacier affirming that iOS is indeed the correct platform choice for privacy-conscious users.
