The Government IS Tracking Your Cell Phone

I think most privacy conscience people know deep down inside that the little computers we carry in our pockets are dangerous to our privacy. If you are anything like me, you have thought about it, but have not done much to change how you use your cell phone. Looks like the time has come to do more than think about it.

From an article in The Epoch Times today, we read:

Canada’s federal health agency has been using cellphone data to track the anonymized movements of Canadians since the onset of the pandemic in order to inform policy and public messaging, and it intends to continue the practice after the COVID-19 crisis is over.

But don’t worry:

PHAC [Public Health Agency of Canada] says it will not be able to identify or track individuals with the data and that its privacy management division was consulted in the development of the RFP.

Ya well, as the great Ron Burgundy so eloquently said, ‘I don’t believe you.’
