Google and other devices tracking your every moment, of course - it is the norm.

BUT using that data is where it violates various rules.

When we start going down the slippery slope of trying to block our constitution, then it is time for worry.


Like, when a liberal Nevada Governor decides to do what he wants to do, and block all nutrition stores from opening (even though the Department of Homeland Security says there are essential stores providing nutrition, health and basics), because he feels like being a dick, and would rather eat at a McDonald or keep that liquor store open than a nutrition store, we have to start worrying.     Or when the police stop your car because the license plate is from New York, or try to search your house because they see a license plate on your street, then we have to worry.

In this time of Coronavirus, the best and worst will come out - these people in government should not be idiots, and abide by basic rules.

Most cell phones use the Android OS, which being a Google product has many of the google features built-in. This includes the location tracking. I believe this can be defeated by doing nothing more than just turning your phone off. Since this social distancing is making many of us more introverted (and misanthropic as well), turning the phone off becomes easier to do over time.

Anytime lately that I post about a hobby or an interest of mine or even about Cancer I get tons of stuff online and in the US Mail regarding these topics.
