(6,785 posts)You're being tracked by so many devices now that there's little point being concerned with it. If the government wants to track your movements, they don't even need to do any work. They can just ask your mobile phone carrier, GPS manufacturer, emergency service device carrier, or in some cases car manufacturer. The only way to avoid being tracked is to swear off technology and travel by horse and buggy.
However, I am worried about it shifting ever more of the burden of keeping society running onto the poor and middle class, all while racking up profits for whatever corporation was contracted to perform the service. It's kind of a trend, and only a conspiracy in the same way the sun rising in the east is a conspiracy. If something plays out the exact same way every time it happens, it's not unreasonable to assume that's how it will play out again.
Which people are arguing in favor of it should be enough to set off alarm bells.
