..very much lots. It is a limitation in movement, in safety and liberty, since it would also contain the daily patterns of politicians and other interesting people. During wartime that information becomes even more valuable, and companies have been shown to gladly share with all sides.

Nothing you posted here makes any sense, nor has any remote chance of effecting your daily life..
1) Movement.. You can move around just fine - with or without your phone on you.
2) Safety.. not sure how safety comes in here. What's unsafe about location tracking?
3) Liberty.. what rights would you lose with this feature on?
4) "politicians and other interesting people" - wait, what? huh?
5) Wartime - there's a war on now.. How has your phone's location services had any effect on it, or been affected by it?
6) Sharing - Again, so what.. This has been going on for years with all kinds of advertising.
I really don't get the "phone => location" hysteria. The only reason I turned by off is because it means apps are running -and my battery dies faster.
Personnaly I don't care about any of the things you point out. All are non-issues, and some are way out there whacko.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Late to the party but I just asked him why, after 10 years on CP, he has no photo, no bio, no information at all - what has he to hide?
Also requested he post his phone numbers, family details, etc.

Let me play the Devil's advocate of why it is BAD to give the government unfettered access to this information.
Lets pretend someone in the agency wants to run for Public Office. But they need Donor money to make this happen.
So, they run a simple geofence around rich neighborhoods (really rich). They also geofence all of the hotels (both are already done for them, BTW).
Now, they take META data. Phone #, Time/Date, GPS location.
They run a simple enough query. Find every phone that normally spends the night in the right neighborhoods, that also spends the nights (or large parts of it), in the Nice hotels on some nights.
[People who might be having an affair]
Next, find multiple occurrences, and then find the phones that are consistently (more than once), near that phone, those nights in the hotel. [The person, they are probably having an affair with].
Next, cross reference the original phones with their work locations, double check that they are not working for the government, or are judges.
Take this list, and "Suggest Kindly" that you know about the affair, and that your Campaign needs a SMALL amount of cash. And suddenly, you are a politician.
I have watched SIMILAR transactions occur, against wealthy people that I know. When they refused, they had charges brought against them, in a CLEAR SMEAR campaign, and were forced to literally step down from their companies, and in hindsight said they should have just paid the money, it cost them too much!!! The charges eventually went away... Settled out of court.
Information is NEITHER good nor bad. How it is used, CAN be either.
There are a lot of positive uses. They can identify the rioters in Baltimore! Bring up DL Photos, and cross reference, and make arrests later on. Now, the interesting part is that they will probably not use this data in this way. If not, all arguments for keeping it seem moot!
==
The issue is not the data. This issue is not how honest you are. This issue is really about having it used against you in some unforeseeable way, and then having the government (who admits that their agents are REQUIRED to lie under oath about some of its existence and usage, look into the sting ray device usage), use this information to exact some kind of justice.
I will give you one more. Right now, the IRS can seize all of your bank assets for depositing too much cash under the $10,000 threshold. They can do this on daily transactions of $3,000 -$5,000.
And you have to sue them to get it back.
Now, someone does a search for cars that drive through a drug area. They notice you drive through twice a day, and stop for a few minutes on the way home. (you are dropping off the uneaten food from your diner to some very in need people). their search algorithms determines you might be supplying drugs. And WOW, you do lots of cash transactions.
What do you think happens next?
==
The founders of this great nation FEARED an all-seeing and all-powerful central government.
One without lots of controls that LIMIT its power at every step. Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
(notice how the IRS rule is allowed to subvert this).
This is a nasty cocktail my friends.
It can happen, it does happen, and it never bothers bystanders UNTIL it happens to them, or someone they love, and they watch them lose everything when they did nothing wrong.

Well said. Too few people understand that it's not the individual pieces of data that matter, it's the way that it can all be aggregated now. Just about anything about your private life can be revealed from your data trail, from your Internet use, your purchases, location data, etc.
The potential for harassment, blackmail, etc. is huge. It makes it easy for powerful actors (wealthy individuals, governments, criminals, police, private detectives) to attack, discredit, silence, etc. This happened to the OWS movement, they were targeted under anti-terrorism laws. Think about how easy this makes it for the government to go after dissidents.

Don't know where you live but where I live that is blackmail and a criminal offense and if the politician that would have gained by this wasn't even involved but some "well" intentioned other individual did it on their behalf the politician would be dealing with fall out continuously throughout their campaign and it would be seen as a significant negative for that politician in terms of the voters.
Of course if they were involved then they would be facing criminal charges and their campaign would be done.

Let me clue you in - phones have been collecting this information for years. That is why there are so many apps now that use it.
Where are all of these scenarios that you claim should be happening? The info already exists so that isn't the problem.

The challenge is that these guys are smarter than you think.
Most of them are lawyers.
In this case, it was not worded as a threat. It was a request for a donation, with a specific range attached to it. A couple of times. Then out of the blue, he gets information that they are questioning people looking for charges. Another request he turns down. See, different "actors".
Then the charges come, his passport is revoked. No way to tie the two together, but research determines the two people are linked.
Also, this concept of "If this was happening, we would hear about it!" is a Bogus argument.
Did you hear of the Doctor who rallied against HIV as the cause of AIDS, who was WILLINGLY Injecting himself with HIV+ patients blood??? (no, it made the news in other countries, here, it was not covered. Despite him being in Florida. The person I contacted said they could not cover it, their Editor said no).
Did you know Larry King was on a 5 second delay, and was warned that these types of comments cannot come up on his LIVE SHOW? If they did, they would cut to commercial, and he would be fined.
Did you know that the Air Traffic Controllers, right after 9/11 were forced to sign GAG orders, acknowledging that they would be sued by the government if they spoke EVEN ABOUT the GAG order?
The scenarios ARE happening. I am a nobody and I have seen them first and second hand.
The key thing I see in all of these cases is that they don't take EVERYTHING, they take enough.
And then they leave you vulnerable. If you speak out, you WILL lose everything, and they will
make you look like an idiot, so nobody will listen to a word you say.
Snowden Leaked information. Look at how they go after him. Even calling him a low-level analyst,
which they admit was to piss him off hoping he would make a mistake.
The backstory you probably did NOT hear. They approached the business owner of the Encrypted Email tool he used, and they tried to force him to embed a virus, and steal Snowdens Encryption Keys. This guy had 2 choices. Obey and lose self-respect or shut it down, and lose his business. He choose the latter. It is actually public information.
Is that NOT an example of the over-reach we are talking about?
Is that blackmail? Well, not when it is sanctioned and TOP SECRET. Also, again, the government throws gag orders in there. So you DO NOT KNOW it is happening around you.
The lack of clear evidence for everyone to see is NOT PROOF it is not happening. The existence of some proof is a warning that it could be a LOT more prevalent than you realize.

Sounds like more conspiracy nonsense. There are some issues that can be covered by such orders however so it depends on what the topic was.
Kirk 10389821 wrote: Is that NOT an example of the over-reach we are talking about?
Not sure what you are talking. Sounds like a random bunch of conspiracy nonsense like any of a large number of conspiracy theories. All of the ones I have seen are nonsensical in various ways and almost always because they require that humans have super human powers to achieve, because they ignore the base human behaviors.
Kirk 10389821 wrote: The lack of clear evidence for everyone to see is NOT PROOF it is not happening
Yes actually for the vast majority of theories that is exactly what it means.
Kirk 10389821 wrote: The existence of some proof is a warning that it could be a LOT more prevalent than you realize.
Nope. History is full of actual conspiracies. The reason those conspiracies exist in history is because humans are stupid, ignorant, jealous, spiteful, remorseful, fearful, greedy, incompetent, etc, etc, etc. When all of that is added up over time it means even small conspiracies tend to fall apart. Large conspiracies have no chance.
And rationalizing anything else requires that one suppose that humans or something that looks like a human is running around with super human powers.

Well,
I could sit here and quote a small piece of a lot of things you wrote, and keep saying "sounds like sour grapes". I wont.
I will focus on ONE THING. Larry King Live show. Because I asked. I found that Tony Robbins had Dr. Duesberg as a speaker. Duesberg points out the HORRIBLE science behind HIV=AIDS theory. Tony is also a good friend of Larry King. Who spoke at the event. (Don't even start with me on the topic, until you have read and understood the science behind his ITAV book)
I reached out to Tony, personally, during the event. He is the one who told me that Larry was on the delay, and that he is REMINDED when Tony comes on his show of the list of topics he cannot cover.
That is a form of censorship that MOST people in America would NEVER THINK HAPPENS.
(The editors argue that any such views they block are "dangerous" for the average viewers to hear!)
So. I again point out that NONE of the things I mentioned are theories. I have witnessed them FIRST HAND (or second hand with someone I could trust telling me the situation they were directly involved in, as in this case).
==
The point I was making still stands. There is a LOT you don't know about because some of it is being blocked from your view. The fact that you have heard NOTHING about it means that it can be prevented from being leaking out.
If conspiracies happen all the time, then how come you refer to anything that sounds conspiratorial as "nonsense" throughout your replies?
Did Cigarette companies not hide their own research?
Did the NSA not ADMIT to violating their own rules for spying?
Did the IRS not ADMIT that it violated its rules in targeting and releasing information?
This was all about the dangers of the overreach of the government as they have access to an ever increasing amount of details of our lives. Much of it will be used to solve crimes, which is good. Much of it is a violation of our 4th amendment rights! New cars now have black boxes so they can see where the car has been. Soon enough, it will just have a cell phone embedded in it for tracking, with the ability to shut it down remotely and tracking in real-time. And we will probably not have a way to turn it off.
Thomas Jefferson would be spinning in his grave!

Doubt that. Such admissions, as you stated, would probably be admissible in criminal court. More likely your are referring to claims by others that such occurred.
Kirk 10389821 wrote: Much of it is a violation of our 4th amendment rights!
First that is yet to be decided in many cases.
Second most of our "rights" that seem to fall into that category have in fact been added by legislation and until they were added they were not considered a right.

Some new cars already have a way to "turn off" certain systems and have had so probably for at least three years.
However that has nothing to do with any nefarious purpose but is solely either a marketing tool or a sales tool intended to increase the cost of maintenance.

Okay, You said nonsense a lot.
I will pick ONE item to prove me wrong about.
As you should know, when a new scientific fact is discovered, it must be foot noted in all of the papers that reference it for the first few years.
I hereby challenge. Please find the peer-reviewed and cited study that PROVED that HIV causes AIDS.
Simple enough. You know you believe it is true. Should just be a search away.
So, I call your "nonsense" statement. PROVE your statement, or come back and admit you were wrong!

jschell wrote: I am rather certain that attempting to prove this to you would be similar to attempting to convert the Pope to Islam.
Nonsense!
I said show me the peer-review, published and referenced study that shows HIV Causes AIDS.
There is no "conversion" on my part. It is not about what I believe to be true. It is about the
science that I have read, and the facts that have and have not been proven.
Do you have the REQUIRED FACT to backup your statement or not? A fact that should be in the public domain, and easy enough to find.
I know a ton of interesting facts on this topic. Like, in Africa, the same exact blood can be positive or negative for HIV, based on how the questionnaire is filled out! Or in America, people have gotten both HIV+ and HIV- results from the test. Or how a blood sample in the US might be negative, but in another country the same blood could test positive! Books have been written about this stuff. Unread by you. Or simply considered "nonsense" by you.
Don't do it to convince me. Do it for yourself. Find out if it was ever published.
You will find that "HIV, the virus that causes AIDS" is not attributed to ANY peer-review study on causation. In fact, the quote is not usually attributed to anything or anyone (occasionally to Dr. Robert Gallow, but never to any published work).
You can either find it, or you cannot. I will assume you did a quick look, and realized you could not find it. Instead of admitting that, you simply slam me with an insult.
The only reply I care to get from you at this point is:
Yes I found it: <reference> (To which I will confirm and bestow on you congratulations)
or
I could not find it, I retract that single "nonsense" statement I made..
(for which I will thank you for your integrity and honesty, and offer to see if you would be
interested in curious facts as it regards HIV/AIDS research and reality. You may not, and
that is fine).
Thanks!

Not in any Peer Reviewed journals that I have ever heard of.
So, that should have made it EASIER for you to find.
But the point being made, which you were calling nonsense... Is that the opposing points of view on MANY of these arguments have been effectively silenced. Careers lost, not because of evidence or proof, but because they refused to recant sound research. (Duesberg being one of them). A professor at MSU while I was there was forced to recant his position and his own published book, because they pressured him, and all of his research grants. ("Maybe you are not the right person to continue this research.")
Some people (Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I believe), have tried to say that SPEAKING against Climate Change should be a felony... OMG.
Global Warming is here. It started when the Glaciers that made the Great Lakes receded... And there were NO PEOPLE or CARS causing this. Does anyone know how long that cycle is? Do they account for it in their "Climate Change" projections. I laugh because we cannot predict a single WINTER season accurately, but we are supposed to believe they have models to predict the next 40 years that are correct? So, I don't believe in man-made Global Warming.
Shutting down free speech is the real issue. I had given examples that I had witnessed, either first or second hand. I took issue with you claiming they were all nonsense. As if I were making them up. So I challenged you to prove your assertion (or at least that my assertion was wrong).
jschell wrote: Fortunately freedom of speech doesn't work like that.
But one should use the freedom wisely. If you challenge someones statements, I think that bringing some facts to the table is the way to go. Then you become a better communicator, I learn something, and the other people who might be following this learns something.

Kirk 10389821 wrote: Shutting down free speech is the real issue
Nope. Science is a process - it isn't free speech. If you want to cure your AIDS by heating your blood up it is likely that you can do it. If you are doing it to other people and charging for it then it no longer has anything to do with free speech.

Jschell,
The 2006 reference is newer than the last time I was actively reading anything on the topic
(Simon et al. 2006) from the article. In this article, I will concede that they don't exactly prove HAV causes AIDS, per se, but they indicate the potential for HIV to overwhelm and destroy the immune system to a degree that leaves it susceptible to other diseases. But in this case, it is more researched than previous assertions. Also, they finally extended the first incidence to the 1940s... Which also proves that it is not that "new" of a virus.
So, I will accept that as "proof".
As for Duesberg, he was introduced (at the time) as the foremost retrovirologist of the time, by Gallow himself. So he did have some experience in the field.
This, however, does not negate the fact that the conversation was stifled.
But 2006 was a long time after the arguments of 1990s...
The process of science is usually that those who believe in the wrong facts DIE OFF, and those remaining shift to the other view as it becomes obvious (see flat earth).
Good Job. Thank you!

Since you were actually reasonable on the last one...want to go for another?
The above comes about based solely and completely on conspiracy claims that 9/11 had other causes than the official ones and probably this specific claim is related to the "theory" that the planes running into the buildings could not cause the buildings to collapse.
Which is hokum. But the conspiracy nuts make the claim that someone is being silenced.
Two fundamental problems with that.
1. There is no reason to silence anyone unless the planes didn't the buildings to fail.
2. It requires a vast conspiracy.
Notice that for 1 one need not even address the nut theories that the CIA or other nefarious forces were actually the ones on the plane. Just what caused the buildings to fall.
The second suffers from the same limitation as all such theories - the more people that exist in conspiracy then the more likely it is that something will cause it to be revealed. One need only look at real life attempt terror attacks which involved even just a few people and yet which are revealed by random twists of fate.

This might be interesting.
Lets talk about the building falling after being hit by airplanes.
I don't know what happened, as I was not there. I found a few things "eyebrowse" raising.
Building 7 Fell. No airplane hit it. Yet it fell in a similar fashion to the other buildings.
I believe that was a 47 story building?
Explain? Because there was no major fire engulfing the building. No Jet fuel.
http://rememberbuilding7.org/7-facts-about-building-7/
Notice 1,700 engineers want an investigation because it does NOT add up.
Watch that video. Please explain this.
Explain that one. Never before have buildings fallen like this. Even after being hit by planes.
The other thing I found interesting, because I watched the coverage live (it stopped me from going to work that morning). The numerous times I heard people on the news use the word Explosion. Yet, that word is missing in the 9/11 commission report.
Also, remember the never ending smoldering during the process of removing stuff. What was smoldering? This makes sense if Thermite were present. Rain and time would have a hard time extinguishing it. But suggesting that the Jet fuel was still burning like that for days. So, explaining that constant smoldering/burning.
The plane hitting the pentagon. What happened to the 2 engines of Six Tons each? No broken windows where the wings should have hit the building. And that plane pushed through reinforced concrete?
Superimpose the plane over he building, where it hit. This is the most amazing flying EVER of a jet that big.
Finally, I find it perposterous that the passports of the people flying the planes were found, but the black boxes were not. When I travel, I have my passport on me. At worse, in my carry on.
The plane the was smashed into the mountains was devastated. But the black box survived. They could not even find this thing? Either of them?
Oh, and the first time Bin Laden tried to blow up the buildings, via the basement. A nearby university detected an Earthquake. This time, the detected one as well. Around the time the plane hit the building. One witness said he felt the explosion below, the windows blew out, and then the plane hit the building above. The real question is. What would have caused an EARTHQUAKE to register before the building ever fell?
I am curious about your take.
It was building 7 and the pentagon that caused me pause.
And they REMOVED all the evidence and scrapped it. Saved NONE of it to be examined. Interesting. One would think that they could learn a lot by examining EXACTLY what happened to the steel?

If you cherry pick a single fact and use only that to build a theory then you can prove anything. The reality is that you are trying to significantly simplify something that is vastly complicated and then using that simplification to come to a conclusion while ignoring the complexity that you dismissed.
The analogy would be to find a single automobile accident where the car was totaled to an amazing degree and the driver actually survived and then use that to conclude that it was pointless to have seat belts in any vehicle. (And yes for this example I didn't provide info original on whether seat belts were in use or not.)

Saved it where exactly? Exactly how much physical space do you think it would have taken to store the entire remains of the buildings demolished? And retained it in such a way that
1. It could be safely stored (keeping known containments from hurting people.)
2. It could be safely examined.
And how much would that cost? Both for containment and continuing safety?
