It's not just that. But, the fact that they are bluetooh or wifi enabled allows people you don't know to track you as well.
I can easily determine what bluetooth devices are near me. If a number of sensors were setup around an area, it would be easy to track people as they move around using just that.

That's cool and all, but I'm going to stick with fvwm2. I like a window manager that uses less than 200k of ram.

Total bullshit. This is not OK.
For some reason I was also under the impression that international airports also counted as borders as well. So, that would mean that every major city in the sates would be in that red range.
Food for thought.
I should totally have an onlyfans page!

Not cool.

This is not unexpected. How will this play with the use of I2P there?
Multihoming is an obscure case?

That's exactly the problem. There is no accountability or transparency on how any of this stuff is used.

Not to sound like a nutjob, but there are a lot of things they have kept hidden. More transparency is needed.

Yep, this is a major design flaw. Then again, even from the start, the internet never had privacy in mind.
