The Indian government is reviewing a proposal that could force smartphones to keep location tracking (A-GPS) ALWAYS ON — even if the user disables it.
🔍 Today:
Police get rough location data from mobile networks — not very accurate.
⚠️ Proposed change:
Phones may share exact GPS-level location 24/7, with no option to turn it off.
📱 Apple, Google & Samsung oppose this move, warning it could:
– Break user privacy
– Enable constant surveillance
– Risk sensitive location data misuse
👤 Privacy experts raise concern:
With millions using smartphones daily, mandatory tracking could create massive privacy risks.
🤔 Do you think safety should outweigh privacy?
