People who attended the 06Jan rally and were not even on the Capitol grounds had their phones tracked. Some of them got a SWAT visit in the wee hours weeks later.

It’s not so far fetched.

I’ll also mention that Ćhina will find this new feature very helpful and are no doubt grateful.

Right, exactly. It's a phone. It's gonna be tracked anyway. This feature is not moving the needle when it comes to how easily you are tracked by a nation state, but it does move the needle when it comes to "finding your lost/stolen phone that is powered off".
