Back in the covid-era, in Australia or New Zealand a pregnant woman was arrested by the police for posting something "not approved" by the government on Facebook. In UK there are enough cameras to track you everywhere, all the time.
Years ago there was a report on a tech news site that certain HP or Lenovo computers were taking a roundabout route to reach the customer, and it was found that tracking devices were installed. There was a game app where it was found it was secretly collecting location information from you. Certain flashlight apps as well. While I do not use my Smartphone for more than calling and texting, I am incredibly suspicious of Flashlight apps that ask for your location and contact info. No thanks, they can go and lose themselves.
Just yesterday, since I used my phone for timing my runs, I dropped it and screen broke. I'm going to go by myself a proper stopwatch that is water resistant so I don't have to deal with electronics that have to be taken care of as if an infant and potentially track you where you go. Modern tech SUCKS.
