None of that is surprising. I haven’t thought I lived in the “Land of the free, home of the brave” for a very long time. We live in a police state as evidenced by the contents of that article and knowing that I can not do anything of any consequence without government permission in the form of a fee, permit, license, or tax. (Can you think of anything?) Our vehicles have been spying on us ever since the inclusion of the computer modules on the engine. Now there is GPS and no way I am aware of to temporarily disable it. Its wireless feature means you are open to surveillance. For what its worth, I do use a VPN on both my phone and my computer at home. Its not fool-proof but does help increase privacy and security. I also have a wireless-proof phone pouch that I can carry my phone in that blocks all signal should I choose to travel from place to place without the GPS tracking me. The phone is inoperative at that time, or course, but often I don’t care to be interrupted with phone calls anyway. Especially now that tellamarketer bots systematically call numbers to bother people.
