If I don't need it, I shut it off. Problem solved. My phone is so old, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of these modern things. Besides, IF they ARE watching me for whatever reason, I'm a pretty boring study.. And yes, they should at least bring the beer. I spend enough time in the green machine to know how track and observe works. Electronic or otherwise. This is prob old news to most people, but those reward cards ALMOST everybody uses at the box stores, gives big brother a nice baseline of EVERYTHING you buy, allowing them to establish baseline buying patterns on everything you consume. Food for thought.....
