But Stallman does not believe that making a phone call is evil. Nor does he believe that choosing to allow yourself to be tracked is evil. He objects to being tracked himself. If someone else has already chosen to be tracked, he might think that they made a poor decision, but it's their decision to make. There's nothing wrong with then asking them to use your phone.
This is nothing like asking someone to kill for you. Killing is always wrong. Trading your freedom for being tracked for the ability to make phone calls on the move is a personal decision. Now, he would probably prefer that people not have to make that decision; that phones ran all free software, with no locked hardware that you can't get access to, so you could control your own phone and determine when it did or didn't broadcast. But that doesn't make it wrong for someone else to make a different decision than he did.
