I know my phone and location is tracked heavily for advertising and such. If I care to be anonymous I leave phone home and carry cash. Even then there are cameras everywhere.
So i expect this location data likely tracked either way, so might as well go to help the greater good.
- taneq 7y agoWhile I'm generally one to rail against this kind of tracking, you're right. There are so many entities already getting our precise location data, would it be so bad if we add one more that will actually save lives instead of just selling us useless shit?
- rlt 7y agoSigh. This is exactly the attitude that leads to the erosion of civil liberties.‘ 2010: "It's just a private company doing it for advertising, why not?" 2020: "Eh, private companies are already doing it, might as well let government have access for contact tracing, just temporarily." 2022: "The government has had access to my location data for the past 2 years, nothing bad has happened to me yet, and they say it's necessary to continue fighting future outbreaks. Might as well keep giving them access".
