Tech That Tracks Your Every Move Can Be Convenient, Not Creepy (wired.com)

No. Full stop.

Being tracked is never good. It's the thin edge of a wedge, which, if left unchecked in the name of "convenience", will lead to total tracking of everyone in the names of "safety" and "convenience".

"They" will say it's "for the children", as they always do, and the politicos will pass legislation.

This is like drugs: just say no.


For the record, I dislike tracking, but I like seeing the other side once in a while.
