Would you allow yourself to be tracked?

Ain't you tracked thru the web reguardless of this software? I thought what ever you write or where ever you go you're watched by someone or something(cookies). So why would this matter?

I would have to say NO,NO,NO. I do not want to be tracked by anyone. As for bosses being able to track their employees, that's illegal. My dad worked for Job Service and he said that's a lawsuit waiting.They are not even supposed to drive by your residense to look for you.

Tracking technologies have been available for a long time already. GPRS for one, triangulation of GSM signals also. The fact of the matter is that authorities are able to hone in to a person's location already whether they're aware of it or not. Then we have services like Twitter where people are constantly updating others on their location; and many apps available on handsets today have built in location features that you can switch on and off as well. We are far more locatable than we realize and most of it is self activated!

Regulatory entities are enforcing rules and guidelines that are making these services permission based to try to reduce misuse, but there is no question that many people will use it innappropriately. Personally I do not activate these services and have no plans to at any time in the future. But I also have no doubt that I can be located regardless!

You are very right Alok, whenever a technology comes into play, it brings its flip side also along with it. Tracking their wards could be boon for parents, they can 'keep an eye' on their grown up children and can advice them at their need of hour. However, grown up kids won't appreicate the same, they do not like that their privacy should be invaded. If I take a mobile, which has this latest technology, I won't mind, if my known to persons or my better half keeps a track of me. If it is someone unknown to me and he is stalking me, I won't appreciate it.

hello,
No i will not like that. If someone will track you it means they dont trust you. say, you are an employee and the boss wants to track you, what for? to find out if you are really in an official business, it seems that there is no trust. for friends, there are always the call and text unlimited so you can know the whereabouts of your friends and join them on gimiks. And as you mentioned, there are a lot of threats for those people you dont know and trust.
take care

hmmm,, really thats kind a spooky, people can tracked you. no body wants to be tracked down, evrybody wants privacy, specially when it come to their personal life and info.

Wow, I never knew of this…thnx for the warning! Of course I would hate to be tracked…just imagine if I am in the loo or worse still….in bed

I don't want to be tracked by anyone.. I mean, other people don't have the right to mess about my privacy.. and i don't think companies should do that too, it's ilegal.. tracking devices should only be used in courier services( to track down your package), penitentiary(to track down prisoners, etc.. it shouldn't be used to interfere a person's life!

I would not like to be tracked this way. Neither by my friends nor by my employees. And I think this technology will only be misused by many.

Hi alokn, do you mean anyone can track anybody? Is it the government priviledge only to so such a thing? I won't allow myself to be tracked, if that is the consequences of using a mobile phone, then I'll pass it. I'll shut down my mobile whenever I want to feel untracable (did I spell it right?..)
