Leave your phone at home, if you are worried.


That's where the network of CCTV cameras with facial recognition and gait detection come in!

Barreling towards a complete lack of privacy is scary and waving it away as "just don't bring your phone" is massively naive. There are many many ways you can be identified and tracked besides your own phone, because there is so much incentive to do it. Even if everyone stopped bringing their phone everywhere out of fear of tracking, they would _still be tracked_


And you don’t think you’ll be marked as suspicious for leaving your home phone at home?

Why did you leave your phone at home? What are you hiding? Why are you afraid of being tracked by us?

Do you not understand anything about privacy and why it’s important?


I cannot do my job without my phone. Increasingly, I also cannot pay or utilize services without my phone.
