Great points as always. I have heard similar things about cell phones before. I wonder, are they any worse than a computer? Of course they track your movements but I’m curious what more insidious things are in play currently.

I know in Australia they were weaponized: during lockdown when they sent you a message you had 5 minutes to take a selfie of yourself at home, or else. That hasn’t happened here - yet.

Thanks 🙏

Yes. If on a tower network they know nearly your exact location, whereas websites make all sorts of wild guesses as to my computer's location.

You can do that while walking about on data?

I noticed years ago that cell phones get the major share of wifi networks. Whenever I was in a cafe on my computer, if more than one person came in with a cell phone...and the crappers are always on...I could ..in the words of Suzy Creamcheese..."FERGETIT!!"

If they planned on attacking folks cells that way, isn't that what they'd do?
