Alerts have been 95%+ off for years. Sometimes it's nearby, but it doesn't go to the 2nd floor where bedrooms are. I don't do social media or slack either.
It's just a way of living where you don't give other people a free 24h real time option on your attention.
Keeping your phone on you or at your side to respond to notifications and alerts means you are generating surveillance data the whole time via the accelerometer, mic, camera lighting changes, reachable bluetooth devices, signal changes, wifi availability, and every other onboard sensor.
Having alerts off means you relate to the device differently. Would be curious what you suppose I misunderstand about surveillance and security though.
