I treat my cell phone like a land line. It just sits next to my desk, even when I leave. For the last several years, I don't carry it with me anymore. I lived just fine before they existed and to me the convenience isn't worth the potential ramifications. It's not only whoever is currently in power today and what they deem acceptable...it's also the potential future use of the data by future "leaders" because it's all recorded. Just don't give them anything to record, or as little as humanly possible in this day and age. I know most won't do that, unfortunately. There's rarely anything important enough to actually need instant communication for most people. I bring this up all the time to family and friends: imagine if Hitler, Stalin or Mao didn't have to rely on a network of snitches and spy's (manpower) to get their info on gays, jews, capitalists, dissidents, etc., and just had to keyword search a database and instantly get a list of anyone who used certain words, phrases or ideas, or visited certain establishments via gps records at anytime in the past
