On the matter of enabling real time doxxing as being protected by free speech, we could perhaps take this a step further. Cell sites gather the real time GPS location of all cell phones whether geo-location is enabled in the phone or not on most phones. Even on the phones that do not support this there are commands to ping the location of all the phones, triggering the e911 functions in the modem. All phones manufactured for sale in the US after 1996 have this function. Activating this function does not provide feedback to the phone OS at all.
I am curious what the public reaction would be if there was an API that could give the real time location of anyone by name, groups-of-people by location, IMSI, MSISDN, etc... regardless of the subscribers age. Would there be any push-back?
Some cars also have this information. They are quite literally vessels by standard automotive terminology. Maritime laws require GPS data for all vessels and there are sites that track these vessels today. We could also track the location and speed of all cars and set up an API to query by location, license plate, vin number I think this may have already happened, owner name, owners license number. We could doxx people that are speeding, driving erratically, visiting an ex-lovers home. Insurance companies would certainly love this information. Some people volunteer it to insurance companies already for a discount but why not make it public? The police could see real time location and speed of every vessel with an expired registration.
We could take this even further. Using cell phone and car data we could infer how often people drive their car vs using public transportation. Anyone exceeding a specific ratio of personal vehicle usage could have their personal ESG score modified and limit access to their CBDC bank account to discourage using cars until they ride the bus for a certain number of days per month. We could even confine their car to a specific approved geo-fence.
All of these ideas are encapsulated within /s, obviously.
