It's to do with what happens with the data collected. If you live in China (and this is not in relation to these devices specifically), the data collected goes towards your social credit score, which, depending how much of a good boy you've been, depends on whether or not you can buy train tickets etc. Say anything negative about the oppressive regime that rules, and your stripped of any and every privilege they feel like you no longer deserve. Maybe you don't mind if that happens in Europe, because 'you have nothing to hide', but i do. And before you say oh, it's just a gps beacon, its dumb, it's just this, it's just that, well, that's how it starts. Bit by bit, then before you know it, you're living in North Korea. Keep holding on to a naive attitude towards these things and that's were we will end up.
