Me too. no drones yet. second one the 27th. Some numbnuts asked me aren't you afraid they gonna inject a RFID chip and follow you? I asked him is that a cell phone clipped on your belt? They're already tracing you. I told him for fifty bucks I'd make him a Faraday shield for his phone, but it won't work while it's inside the shield. Maybe I should of shown him the needle we chip the dogs with and the one they vaccinate with.......
Tell them "You know you can burn out those tracking chips by standing in front of the microwave with the door open, right? You just have to stick spoon handles in the door latch slots and press "Popcorn". Get really close now. That's right......
Oh and put your cellphone in there too, it'll erase the GPS. Put your face against the glass, it's done when it gets sparkly....
Lithium-ion you know.....

Yep, had that discussion many times. The next thing you ask is, "How do you pay for your groceries?"
"With plastic."
"Do you use a store discount card?"
"No, I just give them my phone number."
"Got cable or satellite?"
"Of course."
"So they also know what you eat and drink, what you watch on TV, and what you browse on the internet. Why would they possibly want to waste money on a tracking chip? Just get Alexa and surrender to your master."
Ask them if they use Facebook--

And main revenue stream is selling user data? Yes, that's the one.

That's my favorite new paranoia, that the virus is a plot to force everyone online where they'll be easier to track. It's the birth of the Matrix.
Oh I let them track my RL persona. Poor farmer, old pre-computer truck, no mortgage, taxes paid on time, Nothin' to see here, folks. Move along.
*Pays cash at Bubba's Guns-N-Ammo, and for my pre-paid phone, and for all my dogs and livestock...*
No smart phone, and my computer monitor has no camera or mic.
Which may not mean much; when I went to install Windows, I had to sign off on letting MS and Google and some security outfit (McAfee, I think) peep at my every keystroke and mouse gesture; otherwise I'm pretty certain the system wouldn't install.
Yes, I read the EULAs.

You can turn that off but you will receive a high priority security update shortly and have to turn it off again.
That might be why I don't use any Microshaft products.

Indeed. Or Android. (Or any smart phone. My cell is just a prepaid flip-phone. You know, for talking).
You know Facebook tracks you across ALL platforms, right? Not just their own?
Facebook is suing Apple because the new iOS has a popup:
"Do you want to let Facebook track your Advertiser ID Number across every app and site you use or visit (not just Facebook), so they can sell your data to advertisers to send you Personal Targeted Ads?
Accept / Deny "
And Facebook believes "an abysmal number of people will opt in".
And this will "crush" Facebook's "Audience Network" platform, destroying their revenue stream. Forcing them to use "grey area" fingerprinting to find the identity of internet users.
Which really seems like a remarkable legal argument. "Apple is taking our honeypot by letting people decide if they want Facebook to fuck them over or not." ....

They'd have better luck fighting it as a monopoly power since The Fruit Guys don't have an off switch for their own equally invasive monitoring.
They said the monopoly thing won't fly.
Anyone wants a choice, they can go Big Brother, er, Android, the most used mobile OS of all time.
Division of Google, the grandaddy of data harvesting of all time.
