I leave my phone at home more often.
Your cell phone carrier is actually who gives your information to the police. Your phone manufacturer doesn’t do that.
Thanks for posting the full article, I noticed the site has the article “”55 Chinese sailors feared dead after nuclear submarine โgets caught in trap intended to snare British and US vessels in the Yellow Sea””

Has that been posted here as a thread yet? I would like to see the discussion on that one.
Also my droid allows me to turn location data off, and i have. I also turn emergency alert signals off. We will see today if that works.

I wonder how that works. Sure you can shut location data off on the phone, but isn’t your phone still going to be pinging a cell tower anyway? I know the phone isn’t supposed to be giving location data, but I would imagine that you’re still sending signals to and from nearby towers, and I don’t know that what phones ping what towers is monitored; but I can’t help but wonder if it is regardless.
Same here.
I assumed that turning off location tracking gave you personal privacy from the corporate world, apps, etc, but not from the infrastructure of the cell tower system.
Same here, it’s home 99% of the time where it belongs. The only movement there is from the living room to the garage.
“my droid allows me to turn location data off”
That’s a placebo. A few years ago someone (maybe John Stossel) did a test. He turned off location, and even powered off the phone, and then went on with his day.
Then he had a techy person get a printout of his day. It was perfect, and even so precise that it showed when it appeared he stepped out of a car.
The explanation was that even though the main battery is disabled, there’s another battery always on. It’s the one that maintains time and date, and apparently other things like some location data.
They also do. But if Google collects it (and you know they do), the can have a warrant issued for it as well.
That’s what this article is about.
Re: 9 - not with an iPhone.
Youโre being tracked no matter what you doโฆthat how Google makes $$$$!!
Iโm sure Apple does it as wellโฆ.even when your phone is turned off it is still searchableโฆFWIW
My android settings don’t allow the federal alert to be turned off.
Especially when you go out Robbin' and Rapin',
Which takes me back to an earlier post, i said i leave my phone at home more often than not.
At 68 i have learnt that that activity is best left to the youngsters!!;-)
Mine is a pixel 7, i’ll find out today if i have actually turned that off.
No one is stopping you
If I wanted to post a thread, I would.
Same here.
And will put phones in microwave today - a substitute faraday cage - after lunch.
Lord only knows what kind of fence they are trying to construct with the ‘emergency’ signal they are putting out today.
