I have DEAF on my phone but tht just blocks call tracer and scrambles your conversation so no one can listen in.
The Canadian government's tracking app was activated yesterday. So far it is "strongly recommended" that we use it."They say it is private and can't tell where you are or have been but it runs through bluetooth which, correct me if I'm wrong, can track your location any time. I check my phone every day and the tracker is there but it won't work without the app installed,so it says. A week ago the city of Ottawa passed a bylaw saying we can be fined for entering a public place without a mask. Wonder how long till we need the tracking app to go to a grocery store?
THAT IS THE LIE THEY SPREAD: THIS IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION/SAFETY.
THEY SAY, "WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU GO. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU DO."
BUT THEY DO.
THE NEW APP INSTALLED/ACTIVATED GIVES THEM THE LEGAL RIGHT TO PING, TRACK, AND TRACE YOU WITHOUT A LEGAL WARRANT OR PERMISSION.
BUT ALL CELL COMPANIES OFFER TO SAVE YOUR INFO TO THEIR SYSTEMS/CLOUDS. THEY HAVE IT ALL. YOUR CONTACTS, YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR BILL PAY, ALL OF IT. I DISABLED ALL TRACE/TRACK APPS ON MY PHONE.
I CHECK IT REGULARLY, BY CLICKING ON THE WEATHER CHANNEL APP ON MY PHONE. IT SAYS CLICK AGREE AND/OR INSTALL SO WE CAN GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE WEATHER UPDATE. THEN I KNOW I AM DISABLED STILL. I REFUSE TO TURN ON ANY APP.
Got an update for my phone which I refuse to download. It says Now we won't have to download the tracking app. It claims that it just exchanges "random bits of ID info between users." Still laughing. So apparently anybody walking by can get your ID info.
