This On Your Phone?
It's on mine but off. It's on everyone else I know too. Sneaky bastages.

Only partially true. It was put in every phone, but currently no app is utilizing the capability (at least that's the "official" word)

Who gave the final word to put that on every phone, someone's behind it.
No damn privacy anymore, we lost that.

Yep, we traded away privacy for convenience. You can turn off Location Services to disable GPS tracking. You can still be tracked by the location of the cell towers you connect to but I don't think that info is available without cause. |

The sooner we submit to our overlords, take the chip, get the vaccines and embrace the protection the masters provide, the safer we all will be. Really.

I bought a Faraday pouch for my phone thinking it would help avoid this tracking crap but it didn't work at all. It was supposed to block ALL communication with the phone. No calls, no blue tooth, no texts, email etc.
FAIL. Returned for refund. Here is my next move... |

this is all a bunch of b.s.
on android it's a setting in the google os and it states "to turn on covid-19 exposure notifications, install a participating app". So no covid app, no notifications, and it's not automatically tracking your covid status, it's allowing you to share if you have it or have been exposed to it. Also,it's Off by default, and the only way to use it is to actively download another app that interacts with the .gov's covid tracking. Chill everyone, this is all a bunch of b.s. |
