It must be about time for that "blind faith" in corporations to do what is right to fade, isn't it? Every convenience sharing information can be used for good or ill.
Why are we still using smart phones? Convenience I think.
I was pretty much forced into getting one when i'd rather have had a flip phone. Only use it as a camera and a PHONE! And GPS on a trip, but shut it down afterwards...sometimes GPS turns itself back on. I don't even like that with the location service when I do not want all my whereabouts on public record but yes, I like the convenience of it!
I do not "wear" my phone...it is kept away from me, preferably out of sight and sound. If people are correct that smart phones are taking pictures every few minutes, they are getting pretty much dark spots from me!
I wonder what Amazing Polly thinks about this app?
Those in Australia that downloaded the covid app are know finding out the law enforcement have also been using the info to catch criminals.
I believe a similar thing was installed by Apple on ios with one of the 14. auto updates.
I've been holding out for over a year, iPhone from work. 13.3.1 ... doubt it really helps since they can track me anyway but I try to be a PIA when I can.
Same here, when all this started auto updates off.
I can't believe anyone is still using a smart phone...
