    i love smartphones but i have considered getting a “dumb” phone for the longest time.

    however, i once heard someone say that a smartphone isn’t harmful to privacy because it’s smart but because it’s a phone. i would love to hear arguments either way on that statement

      That statement comes from the people who fail to differentiate privacy from anonymity. It’s because of triangular pinging that can be used to track user location.
