periphery72271 on 17.04.2026 5:33 p.m. I guess… I don’t know why a law is needed for this, at least in the US. If you don’t want to be tracked, stop carrying a tracking device with you. If you insist on carrying a tracking device with you, always assume you’re being tracked.
Old-Cheshire862 on 17.04.2026 5:42 p.m. Don’t stop with precise. Also ban any form of IP Geolocation (whose lack of precision is a different problem).
rgros1983 on 17.04.2026 5:51 p.m. In terms of a phone you can disable it and even spoof your location
Simply_Epic on 17.04.2026 6:57 p.m. Go further. Ban the sale and unauthorized exchange of ALL personal information.
Fun-Handle5068 on 17.04.2026 6:58 p.m. the problem isn’t the data existing, it’s who has access to it and how it’s used banning everything usually sounds good until you realize it breaks useful things too

DENelson83 on 17.04.2026 7:27 p.m. But that will never happen. You cannot tell an ultra-rich person to make less money.

No it isn’t.
