Track People Using Their Mobile Phones

Richard W.M. Jones writes "A couple of new services have been rolled out in the UK recently which allow you to track people when they have their mobile phones turned on. Mapminder states 'It's important to know where your loved ones are for your own peace of mind'. 192.com asks 'Do you want to know where your children are?'. Of course the police have been able to do this for a long time, and evidence from mobile phone positions has been used in high-profile court cases in the UK. Silicon.com has an article."

    for the most part, that appears to mean that you sheeples read the pitch, & hopefully pull out
    yOUR wallets. that's your end of the 'interaction'.

    other possible uses for the miracles of communication we've been given:

    disempowering the unprecedented evile that is destroying the planet/population.

    how does won login/become a member?

    consult with/trust in yOUR creator. get more oxygen on yOUR brains. seek others of non-aggressive
    intentions/behaviours.

    couldn't be easier. what's blocking all this interaction/cooperation? why greed/fear based
    misinformation canpains of course.

    you NEVER hear of any corepirate deathmongers touting oxygen, even though it's the best thing for
    you/us. perhaps there's no countabull profit in it. another possibility is the overwhelming fear
    associated with knowing that a power that exceeds all known before, is in the wings/air.

    we're in crisis mode. the lights are coming up. pay attention (to the weather for example). it's
    affordable, & tends to help prevent being misled further.

    I know alot of Americans will have problems with this, 'big brother' bullshit. The fact is this is a great thing unless you have something (or are that something) 'to hide'.
