It's almost as if there is a certain percentage of the population that pushes nonsensical, unproven conspiracies onto their fellow uneducated man

I'm still not understanding why people are freaking out about this. It uses a Bluetooth identifier for your ID and lets you know if you were in close proximity to someone that tested positive.

Not only that, you have to turn it on and opt in.

There is no contact tracing app in Florida. I literally could not activate this if I tried

1 I posted this had occurred 2-3 weeks back
2 it is on android and Iphones
3 do you really think it can't turn itself on when it wants? Do you think Off really means off?

well hypothetically...if it gets to the point that you will be forced to quarantine/get tested/not see family members/not work/have your children taken away(single parent or both parents contact traced) etc just for walking near somebody who had a single positive test... then it is a slippery slope and lots of people will not be OK with it.

Hypothetically of course.

Privacy invasions don't usually go away once they are enacted or pushed, once they get their foot in the door they don't let it close.


Personally I know our phones are tracking and data collection devices already so it is no surprise, not that I think any of it is cool or even constitutional.

It didn't occur 2-3 weeks back.... The outage happened in the middle of June and the software update happened about a month before that....

Hmnnn
Then my timeline must be off
I read about it approx 2-3 weeks ago(or so)...checked my android phone...then posted in a thread here...I think the thread was about cellphone outages

Timeline isn't really important though IMO...the ongoing trend of tech up in our shit is what I believe warrants discussion and our focus.

Why would they need a network outage to push an update? That doesn't even make sense.

I speculated about the outage...I never once said that was the reason...only thing I was certain about was that my phone had been auto updated with that contact tracing stuff.

Outage happened the same week as I was told there was contact tracing potential on our phones.

So, I just threw the post in that thread because it was an active thread about cellphones.

Do you purposely look up sites with bad info? It seems to happen to you a lot. The software update was pushed in May.

Hearing that the outages may have been a forced contact tracing download

Slipped it in ya, just the tip

Do you just love arguing? I read lots of stuff and never claimed to know when it was pushed out. You don't know where I read it so you don't know if the website I read it on is Bad Info or not?
I don't care when it came out, I only posted about when I personally became aware of it.

I never stated when it came out, I only stated when I read about it and found it on my phone.

If you insist on being part of a forum lynch mob clique then I will just put you back on ignore.
You seem like a good dude for the most part, but you also seem to have an axe to grind with certain posters, let it go and don't engage if you are just trying to talk shit or whatever you are doing.

"1 I posted this had occurred 2-3 weeks back" does not mean that is specifically when it came out, that is when I became aware of it...I didn't read anything about it on this forum so I posted about it...pretty harmless and simple.

exactly what I am saying
"May Have" being the keywords in the post

I posted that and made a joke afterwards...I didn't have cell outage so I don't know what people were experiencing.

LOL at you thinking you have some smoking gun evidence.

Is speculation and discussion not part of a forum? I speculated yes.

I'm just asking questions, about your consistently bad information.

Naw, your trolling and trying to feel cool for you e buddies...painfully obvious
Only information I posted was that I had heard something and that I had found the software...sorry if that offends your snowflake ass.

get fuct m8t, you can be a pretty toxic forum member when you choose to.
