Mobile Phone Industry Explores Worldwide Tracking of Users to Allegedly Counter Coronavirus

The true face of phones.

The ones in power can now use the excuse of fighting pandemics in order to further tighten the leash on their slaves, and the slaves aren’t likely to complain because they’ve been trained to enjoy being choked like sluts.

The Guardian:

The mobile phone industry has explored the creation of a global data-sharing system that could track individuals around the world, as part of an effort to curb the spread of Covid-19.

The Guardian has learned that a senior official at GSMA, an international standard-setting body for the mobile phone industry, held discussions with at least one company that is capable of tracking individuals globally through their mobile devices, and discussed the possible creation of a global data-sharing system.

If most people weren’t biological machines waiting to be imbued with a soul, the fact that there already are companies capable of tracking individuals globally through their mobile devices should spark a heated debate about whether or not that should be allowed, how did it end up happening, and how to prevent it.

But since most people are human husks, when presented with that information, they’ll just say “oh well” and sigh as they continue to scroll down their social media feed.

Any move to create such a global tracking system would represent a major escalation in efforts to use mobile phone location data to help stem the pandemic, and would be likely to raise concerns among privacy and security experts.

Until now the use of mobile phone tracking in the fight against Covid-19 has been restricted to national governments, which are either monitoring data within their borders or in discussions with mobile operators and technology companies about doing so.

They include the US, India, Iran, Poland, Singapore, Israel and South Korea. The British government is engaged in talks with BT, the owner of the UK mobile operator EE, about using phone location and usage data to determine the efficacy of isolation orders.

The concept of an international mobile tracing scheme would go further, enabling authorities to monitor movements and potentially track the spread of the disease across borders. The GSMA represents the interests of 750 mobile phone operators and vendors across the world and helps set international standards for companies.

A person familiar with its exploratory talks said they were at an early stage and that decisions had not yet been made about whether to move ahead with the plan. The aim of such a global network would be to enact “contact tracing”, enabling authorities to use mobile location data to track who a person infected with Covid-19 may have come in contact with.

A spokesperson for GSMA strenuously denied it was currently involved in any project to create a global tracking system. “We are not involved in a project of this nature,” the GSMA spokesperson said. However the GSMA also said it would not comment on discussions that had taken place or ideas that were being explored.

“In this emergency situation, the GSMA and its members are doing everything they can to help the global fight against Covid-19,” Mats Granryd, the director of the GSMA, said in a statement emailed to the Guardian. “We are engaging with operators, policymakers and international organisations around the world to explore viable mobile big data and AI solutions to fight this pandemic while adhering to principles of privacy and ethics.”

Advocates of using mobile phone technology in medical emergencies say accurate and up-to-date information can be a vital tool.

What if some people refuse to use a mobile phone? Will they not be allowed to go outside and travel?

What if enough people refuse? Will governments then propose injecting mandatory tracking chips under the skin?

Notice that what they’re exploring is the idea of using the mobile phone data that already exists and the capabilities of current phones for a wide open mass surveillance operation.

They’re not talking about making phones able to track individuals.

Phones are already able to track individuals.
