Does the Apple/Google cellphone tracking scare anyone else?

Do we really want these two companies tracing our every step? seems they will be using Bluetooth to track every individual. But will they stop tracking us when Covid is over?

I find this very unnerving.

They tracked you before corona. It’s just their way to get it out there that they track you in a way thats acceptable to the ‘greater good’ folks. Slight acceptance over time is their play.

For sure already doing it.

I asked the wife if we are getting new picture frames for the wall, boom, next day nothing but ads when the laptop is opened.

Said I was throwing away the umbrella on the patio, boom, next day nothing but ads for umbrellas.

Your phone already says 10 minutes to work, or 15 minutes to Wal-Mart. That fricker is tracking and listening all the time

Good. God. That phone belongs in a museum. That thing is ancient.

That has to be an OG or 3.

Yes, but it's not really anything all that new, they've been doing stuff like this for a while. This is why I got rid of my smart phone.

Bluetooth tracking devices have been around for a while. We use it to track vehicles for traffic studies.

Some of the new low energy devices available can track your phone even when Bluetooth is turned off. It can also track a number of other devices.

While it has great application for traffic related origin-destination, and travel time studies, I would assume it could easily be used for anything.

Just wait until they chip you for your safety. You can’t escape it then. Probably shove it in as a vaccine to freedom

Hell, I just received an email from Google giving me the history of where all I have been, complete with photos of the locations and categorized by business types. As if I am supposed to be pleased rather than disturbed.

Hell, I switched to android in part because Apple sucks. Now it looks like I chose the greater of two evils.

What am I doing wrong guys? I know some of you have got to be more tech savy than I am.

If I am not doing anything wrong?

Who gets to decide that?

I guarantee you it will be the last people you want deciding.

Well let’s just ignore this little nugget.

Revelation 13:16-17

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
