You are being watched more than you realize

I turned on the TV last night and that guy on FOX News was on. Tucker Carlson had a clip about how we who have cell phones are being watched by Google way more than we realize. The news clip went like this: A man had done an experiment. He took 2 cell phones with him on his day. He had them in his pocket. One cell phone was turned to Air Plane Mode. The other phone had no Sims Card within. They both were not hooked up to a signal, they were not connected to Wi Fi. Yet, by the end of his trip around town, both phones , still recorded each place he had been to. He took a cab to each place. Both phones knew when and where he got out of the cab. Google was still tracking him without a signal. That is scary isn't it?

They must be awfully bored if they are tracking me.

We discussed it at the pool today. In all that fine print that we don't read when we sign up from carriers, etc., we give our permission to be "followed" during our day and night. The only thing to do is leave our phones in a drawer.

I'm still trying to figure out, why are they doing this? What makes a man's simple daily routines, so darn interesting?

I am thinking it has to do with an eventual One World Order. They want to have a data base of all people and their likes and dislikes.

@LeaPea2417 I wonder if this is for them to sell us things, find out what we prefer.

I have been suspicious of my smartphone for quite sometime. I am still trying to find an unsmart one which I can purchase to make calls.

Yes, it is. That is why I do not use social media and do not keep any sensitive information online

Weird isn't. Some times my phone tells me how the traffic is on the way to work. How does it know where I work? I work in about 10 different towns!

I guess it is scary but I would have turned the phone completely off if I didn't want to be tracked.

That's as bad if not worse than someone you know spying on you.

That is just like Skype. You don't have to have it turned on for 'someone' to be watching you. That's why I put a piece of Duct Tape over mine on the computer. @LeaPea2417 . Some TV's even have a camera within them.
