Google Pixel XL Privacy warning which includes all smartphones

I invented ThatCyberSecurityGuy.com LLC to protect you from the infected Internet. However, to do that I have to constantly stay on top of technology and use infected devices that you all want otherwise I'm really not relevant. After my extensive review, analysis and use of my shiny new Google Pixel XL I wanted to include the following privacy warning.

Although Google claims that your Wi-Fi connections are encrypted I have found no evidence to substantiate this. There is no open source tool or app that I know of to prove this statement. You also have to assume that all your text messages, email, location data and just about everything else while using this phone are available to Google, hackers, and governments around the world. While this phone comes with (NFC) which stands for "Near Field Communication" ThatCyberSecurityGuy.com, LLC does not trust this technology. NFC allows for data exchange when the phone touches another device which includes financial transitions. I feel it is far better to use a chipped credit card for purchases.

Your location, your conversations, your text messages are all recorded by Google and the NSA with this phone so don't be stupid. This device is something to help you get from A to B and not store your life's secrets on. Understand any information that you store on this device is public knowledge. You must only use it to conduct public conversations, email and text messages and not allow it to ruin your life. Used properly it can enhance your life and reduce monthly expenditures with the Project Fi cellular network which has proven to be amazing.
