Reminder, your phone is not -yours-.

Headline China, as they roll tanks to put down protests, the cops are using cellphone data to chase people after the fact.

A protester told CNN they received a phone call Wednesday from a police officer, who revealed they were tracked because their cellphone signal was recorded in the vicinity of the protest site.... When they denied being there, the caller asked: "Then why did your cellphone number show up there?"

Just remember, ladies and gentlemen, that your cell phone does not work for you. You pay for it, and you carry it around, but who it really works for is Apple or Google and the government.

Also, just in case you are an oblivious Normie and you are thinking "Ha, this is Canada! [or America, you Americans] That could never happen here!" I will remind you that it already happened here in February 2021 at Coutts border point in Alberta, at  Niagara Falls border in Ontario, and in Ottawa Ontario. Freedom Convoy. The cops recorded the location data for every phone in town.


I mention those occasions because we have verification from court documents and testimony that these things occurred. The truth of the matter is that location data is recorded 24/7/365 and stored forever. Furthermore that location data gets data-mined for all kinds of information by both government and private concerns, the most obvious of which is advertising.

Day to day, none of us care about this. It's not important. But when a cop shows up and wants to know why you were at the corner of Spruce and Bruce at 2:30pm last Tuesday, you are suddenly going to care.

Just sayin'.
