Why a Privacy Carrier? Cape Is Private, Not Anonymous
Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. The video then plays in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode.
Why the Communication Suite uses Cape, a privacy-focused mobile carrier: the five features it documents (daily IMSI rotation, SIM-swap resistance, home-routed roaming, data-minimised signup and encrypted secondary numbers), what they protect against at the carrier layer, what Cape can't change (the IMEI, a fake tower seeing the phone, the payer of record, US legal process), and why Google Fi, grey-market SIMs and a cash prepaid SIM lost.
What you’ll learn
- Know what Cape changes at the carrier layer
- Know what no carrier can change
- Know why the alternatives lost
