The Palantir connection raises some red flags.

Really appreciated this article. After reading it Im def interested to hear more about how Joseph does day-2-day with his ipad mini. Does he carry about some sorta hotspot to supplement the free wifi; those kinda practical insights, etc.

I'm pretty sure we ALL qualify as high risk now

It would be great if someone created a way to fast forward this story to where we find it it's a nation state backed honeypot. I get impatient!

If you think this company isn’t an FBI/NSA/CIA front I have a bridge to sell you…

If they're not also randomizing or rotating the MSISDN, it may still be possible for someone with access to network logs or tools to track these devices as the IMSI and IMEI changes. The MSISDN is usually (but not always) the same as the phone number.

Hopefully they are also ciphering their IMS traffic - if not, there's a lot of useful information that would be exposed.

Seems great for privacy, if true.
However, this is still very recent memory:
