That’s my worst nightmare.

Post Safety Vs. Paranoia
So ;

For now we're mostly good .

In a few years when we cannot drive our oldies I'm sure there will be no way to cut off the tracking devices .

I used a U-Haul out of state, they all have trackers, the rental place said not to worry .

Unhappy Thy're _WATCHING_ YOU !
As well it should .

I don't like it either, cell 'phones follow your every move unless you remove the

battery....

Interestingly enough, most who worry about to much watching are on facebok, the #1 spying place of the internet .

BUSTED!!!

I stay on FB to keep up with friends and family. I turn off many permissions but I recognize that just being there is a permission.

I worry less about the government which in most cases doesn't care about you, nd more about the private sector, where people sell your data to scammers and identity thieves.

Bartenders should love that. An EMT comes to help someone get back on the barstool.

That and anti-vaxxers saying that Bill Gates and the goobermint want to track us by putting nanochips in vaccines. Meanwhile, like you say, we have mega-chips in our shirt pocket that work just fine for that.
