Why would that be nice? Follow the thou g ht through to how it would work and what it would mean in terms of privacy for the average person. Your niceties seem dystopian to me.

I agree that GPS makes finding where you are easier but it's a fallacy to pretend maps are hard to use. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature should be able to locate themselves on a map. It's only when you become so oblivious

After the 6th paragraph regurgitating the same lines without anything identifying which part contained the sim card I gave up reading this. The writer seems to believe that sim cards themselves transmit data.

I work in an environment that has a lot of focus on DEI, training, posters etc. Unless you're standing in front of the equivalent of a polit officer the language is used mockingly. This isnt some right wing coven but a mix of perspec
