and just kind of scratched my head
Can you at least conceive that some people might find it deeply creepy that someone can follow their every step, and equally creepy to be able to 'spy' on another person 24/7?
- JKCalhoun 2y agoI can imagine it. (And in this case I think my sister and her husband simply hadn't yet adapted to the new technology they had at their disposal.)
- giancarlostoro 2y agoSure but those of us who have this sort of tracking for our loved ones enabled arent looking at that 24/7, and if you are referring to the corporations, well they already were. At least now they have made it useful to everyday people.
- throw_pm23 2y agoI find the corporations doing it less creepy than my loved ones. To be clear, I think both are bad, but for different reasons.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoIf you don't trust someone with your location, you don't have to give it to them. Personally I find the corporations angle more creepy. You cannot personally vet the people they hire, but you know who you give access to your address to. Outside of family, only one friend ever drops me his location information temporarily because he drives his truck and he uses it to give me a heads up when he's near him in town, in case we can hang out. I mostly ignore it though unless he tells me how close he is.
- CJefferson 2y agoYes, and they can choose not to do that. If they don’t want companies doing it, they better not have a turned on android or iPhone device with them. But I don’t think it’s a distopian nightmare that I want it.
