content: As I said, I'm not the most technical, but at least aware.  I have shut down as much on my current smartphone as I can understand how to do.  Maybe that is all a person can do.  If gov't wants to listen, then boredom is their choice to do.  Still, worry about all the cyber criminals out there which is concerning.  Have activated many alerts on anything I can and feel protected in that aspect of it. I don't want to invest some $250 on another phone if it won't help.  So maybe just stay with what I have and leave it at that then.
