It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

    They use everything available to them. Browser fingerprinting with metadata, packet TTL, all of it. And AOSP snitches you out also, I think theres a magisk module or something that can fix that.

      I just don’t see why they wouls use any of that as it all can be faked. I’m going to set fake user agents on my mobile browser and change my devices TTL to 128 (windows default) and see if I can supply any other fake metadata just to see what happens. Can you supply any documentation showing that carriers use any of that data to prevent using a hotspot? What do you mean by “aosp snitches you out”, I’ve used official and custom roms for at least a decade and used hotspots weekly across all of them and I’ve never had any kind of issue.
