remember when FCC passed it in an emotional furor for "safety". They could easily have required a manual on-off switch. No-go. Mandatory. Every cell phone since has mandated GPS tracking which data is uploaded to the cloud and kept forever. No cell phone has been manufactured without GPS since 2018.
