Everyone knows the powers that be are trying to get people onboard with “contact tracking”. This is the monitoring of people and who they are in physical contact with. Think of this as “Find your Phone/Friends” on steriods. Recently there was an app that could tell you who was in your general vicinity and if they were single. This app was quickly supressed but it did see the light of day. It is my firm belief this technology has been around for awhile and was being actively employed. Think of the reports how people would be talking and up pops an ad about whatever the conversation was about. There is more to this than people think. The “contact tracking” is just a way for this technology to get more of a legal foothold in America. You thought the NSA recording our conversations was scary, think of if they could record every move, every action that a person does in addition to their conversations. That is downright past Freddy Kruger terrifying. This has gone beyond the tin hat stage.
You are absolutely right... If they mention that they “might, or are considering” implementing something then they already are doing it. And the bluetooth “contact tracking” is already happening without us knowing or opting in. For the last week my carrier keeps turning my bluetooth on a couple times a day and I have to keep going and shutting it back off. I NEVER use Bluetooth for anything ever.
That was what came to mind. I didn’t think it was something that Google and my bank did separately (both started being problematic within a few days of each other)
I have been reading about their endeavors to get involved in tracking, ostensibly for the purpose of “protecting” us.
