⚡ Why Are We Addicted to Our Phones?
During my talk at The People's Reset, I explored what makes our devices so addictive—drawing from Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke. Dopamine is our motivation molecule—the driver of action and reward. In one study, mice without dopamine didn’t even have the motivation to eat. That’s how critical it is.
Smartphones hijack this system, giving us constant dopamine hits that train our brains to crave more… and more.

#TBOT Show 7: The Significance of Dorsey’s Bitchat, Worlds First eSIM Hack, Mexico’s Digital ID, New Show Source Insights
Took a week off and now I’m back. 😎 (with a new addition to the show?!) (also - big sorry for the show being 40 minutes)
WATCH THE SHOW ON SUBSTACK
Here’s the stories for the week:
Jack Dorsey’s Bitchat - The Real Story: The tech mogul Jack Dorsey released a censorship proof messaging app in late June - named Bitchat. It runs a bluetooth mesh network, end to end encryption, and rolling IDs and is picking up traction. I share my thoughts on the app, and concerns I have - but that’s not even the real story. I think Jack has a bigger message than just the app.
World’s First eSIM Hack: A security lab out of Poland just demonstrated a hack on one of the largest SIM providers for IoT devices. We’ll get techy in our understanding and ask the question, could this impact our phones?
Digital ID, Coming Soon To Mexico: The Mexican government has signed a new Biometric ID law, known as the CURP. How is this enforced and what does it mean for Mexican residents? Find out today.
Decentralized Video Conferencing: Recently I’ve been relying more on video conferences instead of calling people, especially while traveling. Good thing I’ve got the Jitsi app, I’ll show you my setup!
New Show, “Source Insights”: You follow #TBOT to stay informed on tech freedom. Now go deeper with a new weekly show “Source Insights”, where Hakeem shares his tools, lifestyle and productivity tips, entrepreneurial advice, wisdom from guides, and personal experiences.
Go deeper, join me as a Source Seeker. Unlock access with a paid subnoscription.

🪄 We aim for our show to be well-researched, well-informed and focused on the most impactful stories
⭐️ PLUS - Each story comes with recommendations and there’s one cool tech trick or open-source solution every week.
We’ll be publishing full posts and clips of each of these stories soon.

⚡️Jack Dorsey’s Bitchat- built in a weekend?
Last month, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey launched a new decentralized app: Bitchat—created in a weekend using AI.
Read full article on Substack
It’s a Bluetooth mesh messaging app: no accounts, no phone numbers, no internet required.
⚠️ Beware of fake versions! Only download from bitchat.free
🔐 Bitchat uses:
• Bluetooth mesh networking (like Briar)
• The Noise Protocol (used by Signal & Wireguard)
• Ephemeral peer IDs for privacy
Useful in protests or blackouts—but with a 30m hop limit, it's only effective in dense areas. Max reach? ~300m if 10+ devices relay the message.
🤔 Built for iOS (a closed, vulnerable system) and developed by someone with ties to U.S. State Dept., it raises questions.
So is it a real privacy tool—or a showcase for Dorsey’s coding AI “Goose”? Either way, it hints at a new tech era: anyone can build powerful tools—fast.

⚡ Why Multiple Profiles Matter
@takebackourtech
In this clip, I explain why creating isolated user profiles on your phone is a must—especially when using invasive apps that harvest your data. These profiles act like separate phones within one device, giving you the power to compartmentalize your life and keep sensitive activity walled off.
When you can’t trust the app, trust the system you build around it.
Learn how to use profiles to reclaim your digital space.

⚡️First eSIM Hack Hints at Phone Backdoors
A Polish security lab just hacked the eUICC—the chip that manages SIMs and stores carrier secrets. They targeted IoT devices running Kigen OS, which powers over 2 billion SIMs worldwide. By exploiting insecure Java applets, they gained access to protected memory, cloned SIMs, and exposed sensitive data that was supposed to stay locked away.
Read full article on Substack.
Even worse, Oracle shrugged off responsibility. Vulnerable Java Card setups could exist across major devices—Samsung, Apple, and possibly others.
This is why we built Above DataSIM. It skips phone numbers and SMS entirely, eliminating the usual attack surface. Pair it with Above Phone, which runs GrapheneOS out of the box, and a VPN, and you’ve got layered, resilient protection against emerging threats like this one.

⚡️Mexico’s Biometric ID: Oh Crap, its the Cuerpo
Mexico has long valued privacy—cash is king, and SIM cards can still be bought anonymously. But that’s changing fast. The government just passed the Biometric CURP law—linking your ID number to fingerprints, iris scans, a photo, and an electronic signature.
Read full article on Substack.
The CURP, or Cuerpo, is already used in residency. Now it’s becoming a full Digital ID. Rollout starts in Veracruz, expands to Mexico City, and becomes mandatory nationwide by February 2026.
It will be required for voter ID, school registration, social programs, and likely services like utilities and SIM cards.
Officials who don’t enforce it face million-peso fines. Mexico is ensuring full compliance.
This could be the most terrifying story you hear—or the most hopeful. Some will opt out and build something better.

VIDEO | Seventeen-year-old Omar Nizar Asfour and nine other Palestinian children were released from Israeli prisons after being abducted weeks ago at a so-called humanitarian aid point (death traps) in Al-Shakhoush, north of Rafah.
The children were seized near the site where Israeli forces had opened fire on starving civilians.
In their testimonies, they described severe abuse, including electric shocks, beatings, sleep deprivation, and even grenades thrown into their cells.
They were starved, denied medical care, blindfolded for days, and treated “like dogs,” with food pushed toward them by foot.
