My first thought was to agree, but my second thought was to wonder how much worse this makes things. The mobile network already locates you well enough for the spooks to find out who you're meeting. I live in Melbourne; half our mobile network is owned by Singapore, and god knows how much was made in China. The spooks are scary, but the network has become essential. No doubt computers accelerate threats to life and freedom, as they do to everything else. It got that way a long time ago, when IBM tabulating machines powered the holocaust. The problems are Singapore and China, which are being solved, and Australia, where parts of the solution are failing. Those solutions are human instead of technical.
