What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

How do they even know if you use your data as a hotspot? That’s just ridiculous!
Makes you wonder what else they know about what you’re doing online.
Read permanent record by snowden
He wrote that 5 years ago (admittedly I have yet to read it), so who knows what they’ve been able to do since then than he hadn’t even thought of.
It’s still very relevant and one of the most mind blowing things I’ve ever read
Oh I’m sure it’s still relevant, I’m saying things have probably gotten even worse.
Well if you ever read it you’ll wonder how it can even get any worse haha
It can always get worse. Any time someone says it can’t get any worse, it does.
I was told abortion restrictions couldn’t get any worse too. Then they started removing rape exceptions.
Probably local/system services on the app when the SIM is activated (like it’s with sim locked phones)
Nope, it’s either inspecting the TTL of packets coming from your phone (unless you have a VERY custom setup, the TTL from devices other than your phone will be very different), or it’s deep packet inspection. I tried to trick t-mobile last year into giving me home internet on a phone sim, so I did a whack ton of research.
Did you find a way to avoid detection?
On US Mobile (Verizon) using a VPN on my phone when tethering seems to bypass detection. At least the meter on the dashboard says I’ve used 0gb hotspot.
Monitoring DNS requests to their own servers.
They look at the TTL of the incoming packets. This can be modified in the windows registry.
