>You don’t think they can match location data with metadata and figure it out? Automatically, with dragnet surveillance? Not a chance, the search space is too huge. But if you think it's so easy, feel free to try building this and selling it, you would become the next billionaire.

Already made. It’s automatically matched to other databases like apartment records and other public information. Signature electronic radiation leak is easily traceable, probably logged unless you never connect it to any other devices. The delusion you have about being private while having a device that tracks your location has no logic or evidence of privacy. Expecting cell phones using cellular towers for privacy is the equivalent of joining a botnet and saying you’re private if you block the signal occasionally.

  Please don't be snarky and assume the weakest possible interpretation of what someone says (I already talked about faraday bags near residences and workplaces). Repeatedly calling another's argument delusional without substantive discussion isn't helpful and it's not what people use HN for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    You say snarky things like build a database, it'll make you a billionare, (which already exists) to track you that you were ignorant about then try to feint innocence and attack my conduct? There is no snark in facts. You’re connecting to a triangulating system that traces your location and expect privacy if you use some open source android distribution which you assume has zero bugs that others can't exploit and trace you. That is delusional. The device has a signature electronic radiation that is easily identifiable whenever its on, which you ignored as a method of tracing. There is zero factual evidence that you can be private when using cell phones at all. It is a delusion with no basis. You don’t make any substantive arguments that proves privacy aside from hopeful/delusional assumptions that aren’t sourced or prove any privacy. You think buying a sim card with cash is enough to protect your identity when stores have cameras and your fingerprint is on cash? Where is your evidence that you are private?
