You lose some civil rights when you decide to become a criminal (or join the Army). ;-) One of the things courts are allowed to do to a criminal is force them to wear a GPS tracker on their ankle, as a method of enforcing that they are not within some distance of an elementary school. It would not be so different to force them to install software on their phone, and the analogy to forcing everyone to wear a GPS tracker is clear. Your civil rights include not being told where to go, something you also lose as a criminal (or a soldier, obviously). It is how civil rights work in our society. Authoritarians want to turn everyone into criminals or permanent soldiers.
