Whether it's the entirety of Justin Bieber's new album, the screams and eery songs from the latest episode of Squid Game, five second TikTok videos or their handy man on speaker phone - being subject to someone else's phone activity can be enough to drive anyone over the edge.

The risk of being murdered underground is ... orders of magnitude less than the risk of dying from a traffic accident elsewhere in the U.S.
