I’m worried about Chinese mobile OSes intentionally designed to make it difficult for VPN apps to work, and companies would just give up trying to design a separate app for the Chinese market, which reinforces a tighter grip on censorship.
Not to mention, all the other FOSS tools that would no longer work if they make android .apks incompatible, including a lot of encryption apps.
So much for “Defensive Democracy” 🤦♂️
If you want to install free tracking tools, you’ll need consent or try to guess the lockscreen password to try to install it covertly.
With this, its doesn’t require consent, since most families are on the same family plan.
Only abusers would use this, since a normal person who actually cares about a family member’s safety would just ask them to install a tracking app voluntarily and be transparent about it.
Its tracking either way, but doing so voluntarily is way less creepy and also free.
Most modern Android and iOS allows you to share your locations for free via Google and Apple “Find My Phone” networks.
The phone company knows what county I’m in but probably not what businesses and municipal buildings I enter on foot unlike GPS location services.
They have your approximate location. If you are in a densely populated city, they might not know which specific building or which specific apartment unit, but they’ll have a small circle around the area, and if you are in a suburb, where things are more spaced out, they will know the exact stores you go to.
If you go to a walmart with huge parking spaces all around it, its obvious you went to a walmart.
According to the subreddit’s moderators, the AI took on numerous different identities in comments during the course of the experiment, including a sexual assault survivor, a trauma counselor “specializing in abuse,” and a “Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter.”
