Android 16 can warn you that you might be connected to a fake cell tower

Android 16 has a new "network notifications" feature that can warn you when your device might be connected to a fake cell tower.

Android Authority
@Viss My guess: Pigs already have alternative ways to spy that either don't trip this, or won't trip this by design.
@NosirrahSec @Viss Probably... I suspect in Los Angeles, it's near constant Stingray activity from the air anyway.
@ai6yr @Viss Yeah, Google lets the shit provider just do what it wants and no one is even gonna get this support for the most part.
@ai6yr @Viss You think Verizon et al are gonna let you get new drivers that pigs don't want people to have? hahaha
@NosirrahSec @ai6yr i guess we're gonna find out
@NosirrahSec @ai6yr @Viss Op/Ed: The thing is, Dirt Boxes and Stingrays rely on empirical reality- which is *apparently* liquid, and subject to debate. There has been no meaningful repudiation of “Alternative Facts”, “Post-Truth Era*” or any similar rhetorical bullshit, meaning if a cop/ICE/Nazi/State litagator-thug says “We have proof from your cellular”- No. They. Fucking. Don’t. *They let Sean Spicer on “Dancing With the Stars”. That’d be like if they let Goebbels on the Ed Sullivan Show.
@Viss makes the phone unusable in DC, no tower in town is real
@Viss When will iPhone's iOS get this feature?
@Viss Yeah, Google will surely allow that.
