Virus phone tracking alert!

[tim87tr]

Go to settings, then Google, where you'll see exposure notifications. Mine is turned off on an Android phone. It allows a user to pick a region after clicking on notifications, although I didn't turn it on to find out. Has anyone noticed this on their phone?

I suppose this is probably a contact tracing software just like other apps that can be downloaded. This was downloaded unknowingly, automatically with an Android update, and who knows if it's really turned off or not. I wouldn't be surprised if this tracking was merged together or used with shot databases.

Wow, thanks to the government overlords for the high-level overreach, in conjunction with Google, to keep us safe!

Just looked and I have it on my phone as well. Says it is turned off. No way to really tell tho.

I flipped open my phone... No such setting.

Apple has had "Exposure Notifications" on their Ios software for several months. It is able to be disabled in settings.

Umm yea, and to think I used to tease my coworker about still having one, he still does! The texting quit working on it and he's even happier. He did break down and buy a tablet a couple years ago.

Yes, thanks. I knew about them, probably a good idea. I call my home a Faraday cage since the metal roof hurts the cell service .

I knew this kind of stuff would start happening when Indiucky got rid of his flip phone!

If anyone thinks you can just 'turn it off', it's like I said to you in another thread, read Edward Snowden's 'Permanent Record' and think again. It can't be turned off at this point, none of this can.

These are more discreet and even cheaper...

No! I feel like that one is made in china, that can't be good. Probably has magic magnetism holes in it leading directly to china I feel like.
The Mission Darkness is made in USA, so at least it's going to leak to our side.

This isn't a virus, it's a feature. You can pretend to turn it of. It's just to make you feel better. If you don't want to think you are being tracked, get rid of your smart phone and all your social media. I'm willing to bet this is circulating on facebook, where the majority of adults get their news from. lol

Nobody is claiming it's a virus. It's an app to use for contact tracing for Covid.

Ya. Except for the title of the thread.
