Yeppers. Note also the push for everyone to own and use a smart phone, the frantic push for 5g (like, how fast does the internet really need to be?), and everything being app based. There's a reason for this. Our cell phones often act as a mirror of our brains, private lives, financial accounts, and ideals. Apps often do more than just sit there. They can, in some cases, peek around on your entire phone and quietly transmit data back to God-knows-who. All that stuff apps require access to? What better way to track, observe, and read people's minds than via their smart phone? Social credit scoring made easy.

This is why many people are quietly shifting away from smart phones and big tech. It's overkill, it's creepy, and soon they'll be doing way more with our data than trying to sell us sneakers. Just saying. Quietly back off of social media while you still can. If you access the internet, maybe do so on a laptop or a desktop, not your phone. Especially if it's anything sensitive (social or political views), private (bank accounts), or controversial. That's my advice. Checking the weather on your phone is fine, but try to keep sensitive stuff off your phone.
