Re:India reviews always-on A-GPS tracking plan for phones by kaluga on Sunday December 07, 2025 @11:56PM (#46188521)
The surprising part isn’t the proposal itself, but how casually “always-on location” keeps getting reframed as a safety feature instead of a massive expansion of the data surface. Any system that normalizes continuous device-level tracking tends to get repurposed far beyond its original intent. History shows the problem isn’t why it’s introduced — it’s what it inevitably gets used for later.
