a device that constantly connects to antennas all over the place, is used to track your location.
who would have thought?
if you dont wanna get tracked - dont bring your phone.
Or, you know, let the gov work for you, not against you, & fully expect people to get jailed if they track you.
It's a matter of perspective what the minimum standard should be.
Especially when a personal device like a phone is basically necessary for a normal life and even public services.
Is a phone a basic necess[ity] for a normal life?
Yes Boomer
I'm almost 50 myself, come on
Millennial, actually
Press X to doubt
A millennial not having a cell phone is such an unimaginable concept?
For whatever it's worth, I do use SIP software telephony in order to make calls and receive texts, so in that way I do technically have a "phone". But what I'm fundamentally rejecting here is the notion that I must be compelled to carry around a device in my pocket infested with proprietary malware.
