So Apple and Google are going to start "anonymously" tracking people that have come into contact with you. This way they can let you know if you've been near someone that comes down with the WuFlu. Sounds all well and good right?

In the vein of "never let a good crisis go to waste" this should strike the fear of God into patriots. According to this article (https://9to5mac.com/2020/05/06/how-to-turn-on-off-covid-19-contact-tracing-iphone-ios/) phase 2 will not require special apps to have it active. That tells me they could easily turn it on at will. Now we hear the constant refrain all Pedes hate "they're a private company they can do what they want!" This is how the government and others will take control. Governments will hide behind Big Tech to track movements and who you speak with. All the while they will claim to be in "compliance" with the Constitution because they didn't track you Apple, Google, or a cellular provider did. I'm not loading this shit and I suggest anyone using an iPhone give it a long hard look before they do. Not until I have some solid proof these bastards are not lying about being anonymous. Might have to switch up and get an android phone with LineageOS so I can control what it does.

I was playing Jackbox games with my brothers kids and a mini game popped up with a rotary dial. You had to dial a number before the others to win, I beat all 3 of them and their friends. There was much REEEEing as they tried to beat the clock.

I saw a Forbes article that stated they would remove it when it was "no longer appropriate". I have to wonder if that's before or after the sun runs out of fuel.

There is Apple and their partially SJW views, or there is Android, in bed with the CIA, Clinton foundation, China, etc.

I just use my phone for work purposes. Half the time I leave it at home when I drive around for personal reasons. I live in the mountains so my phone barely works locally anyways. It is a nice mitigating factor.

Same. Gotta love the Rockies. I just barely upgraded from carrier pigeons. It was quite dangerous getting GPS directions while driving.
