I find the concept of "digital detox" in this situation to be interesting. The Hacker News reader in me wants to say, "But you're missing an opportunity to watch the watcher." I understand most abuse shelters aren't going to be equipped to help teach users how to, for example, monitor and modify the network traffic of background apps on their phone. Or more simply: factory reset the phone before entering the shelter, then turn off mobile networks and GPS and only use the shelter's WiFi. I think it could be an empowering thing for people - to see that they can fight back against their abuser technically in certain circumstances.
