The article describes the launch of Phreeli, a new phone company that promises to offer a private and secure experience for its customers. The company's founder, Merrill, has a long history of fighting against government surveillance and has developed a system called Double-Blind Armadillo that allows users to make payments without revealing their identity.
Phreeli will use this technology to create a new type of phone service that is similar to existing carriers but with a radical difference in data collection. The company's goal is to make privacy normal, rather than something that needs to be fought for.
Merrill has consulted with Zooko Wilcox, one of the creators of Zcash, to develop this technology and believes it will offer a solution for people who want to use their phones without being tracked or monitored. He also hopes that Phreeli will provide an alternative to existing phone companies that are collecting too much data on their customers.
The article concludes by stating that Phreeli's mission is to make privacy normal, rather than something that needs to be fought for, and that the company's founder has a long history of fighting against government surveillance.

. I mean, can it really keep users totally anonymous? It sounds like they're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist, you know? Like, isn't just using regular ol' encryption good enough? 
And what about the catch-22 of wanting true anonymity while still having to use phone services? It's all just a trade-off, right? 
I guess we'll have to wait and see how it plays out 
.
like me and 0 other people I know. I mean, who doesn't want to use their phone without being tracked or monitored? It's not like that's a fundamental human right or anything... but hey, if it makes you feel good to know your purchases were made with your identity in hiding, go for it! 
And $100 a month is just a drop in the bucket compared to what I'd pay for real peace of mind 
. Seriously though, can't wait to see how this plays out and whether Merrill's "revolution" will actually change the game or just be another novelty that fizzles out 
it's crazy how one person can create a whole system from scratch that focuses on user anonymity 
i mean, who wouldn't want to pay for services without being tracked or monitored? it's about time we start valuing our online privacy more 
the fact that merill has consulted with someone like zooko wilcox is a great sign too - that kind of expertise can only make their tech better 
i'm curious to see how phreeli will fare in the market, but overall i think it's awesome to have another player enter the game that prioritizes user security 
I'm hyped about this new phone company Phreeli! 
I mean, who doesn't want their online life to be private and secure? 
The whole Double-Blind Armadillo thing sounds like some sci-fi stuff from a movie, but if it works... that's just amazing! 
. I mean, can you imagine just being able to use your phone without worrying about it tracking everything you do? That sounds like a game-changer for me. Merrill seems like a pretty cool guy who's actually doing something about the surveillance issue, so here's to Phreeli! 
This Double-Blind Armadillo system sounds legit and I'm excited to see how Phreeli plans to implement it. The fact that Merrill has been fighting against government surveillance for so long is pretty inspiring 
. We need more innovators like him who are willing to take on the big players in the industry. It's time to make privacy normal, not some fringe idea... let's see how Phreeli plans to do just that 
.
. Let's hope this new company does make privacy normal, instead of having to constantly fight for it 
. If they really can make privacy normal, that would be a game changer.
. I've heard some crazy things about encryption and how it's not always as secure as we think 
. Still, it's nice to see someone like Merrill fighting against the system. And if it means I can make payments without my info being outed, that's a big win for me 
. Don't wanna have to choose between paying for my freedom or just having a regular phone contract 
. Guess only time will tell if Phreeli's the real deal 
. I mean, who doesn't want their online life to be like, totally private? It's crazy how much data our phones collect and it's all just getting sold to the highest bidder 
. It'll be fascinating to see how Phreeli's phone service compares to the existing ones in terms of data collection 
. Fingers crossed they can make a real difference in making privacy normal 
.
