With the new enactment of a law or technological ‘upgrade’ the people
lose a slice of their privacy and (perceived) freedoms.
The upgrade of Google’s Android smart phone operating
system to v10 or Q, and subsequently app manufacturer’s compliance with the new
operating system version, in order for an app to work with its corresponding Bluetooth
accessory, Bluetooth must be (obviously) turned on, with the mandatory addition
of the GPS switch (or rather software toggle), in order for the
accessory/program to function.
Under previous Google’s Android version, the accessory, e.g.
Bluetooth headphones or ear piece microphone set would work without the need
for any GPS coordinates, where there is zero technical need for the operating
system to know one’s (reasonably) precise GPS location.
The above holds true for Apple’s iOS smart phone operating
system.
Since Apple and Google support the various government agencies
mass surveillance agenda, this information is given to whichever three letter
acronym business asks for it.
After a certain event metadata or mass surveillance became
known under the auspice of public safety, where the ‘nothing to hide, nothing
to fear’ argument was thrown out over the airwaves.
This term applied to the commoners and not the people in government
irrespective of their corrupt activities.
Fast forward approximately 20 years and now and we have the
next level of surveillance implemented on the plebs, under the unarguable topic
of 'public health', with new terms evolving like Wi-Fi scanning, Wi-Fi triangulation, and
the new government sponsored contact tracing where the persons in your contact
list do NOT have a choice to opt out of being tracked for ‘health reasons’.
Remember that according to law, EVERY action must be done voluntarily, WITH your consent.
The REAL problem is that this (Bluetooth) ‘contact tracing’ will return a false positive against
your (or another) person, to (both) Apple, Google, where this information WILL be passed on
to whichever government or insurance corporation asks for it.
You, by downloading the virus related health app, AND
admitting to (Google, Apple) that you tested positive, WILL be screwing over persons
in your contact list even if they did not catch anything from you where they
were in another room from you.
Apparently from the words of the Australian Government over
5 million downloads occurred of their virus app.
It’s NOT about your ‘health’ but rather your privacy and
security.
