India's telecom regulators are pushing for mandatory real-time GPS tracking on all smartphones—a move that's getting serious pushback from major manufacturers. Apple, Google, and Samsung are raising red flags about privacy violations. The proposal would essentially create a perpetual surveillance network through devices everyone carries. Interesting timing as digital privacy becomes increasingly critical for secure transactions and personal data protection.

ngl this is giving orwellian nightmare vibes... india really said "fuck privacy" huh? Rhythm of a surveillance state
---
It's way too late for big companies to resist together, we've already been tracked to death
---
Wait, if this really goes into effect... won't wallet addresses be exposed? This is a disaster for crypto users
---
Apple and Google finally did something right, though I don't really believe they actually care about privacy
---
This round of regulation is just absurd, feels like the whole world is competing to see who can monitor people the most thoroughly
---
Let me guess, which elites are pushing this bill behind the scenes? There's no way it's just about "security"

ngl, India's move is really something else, a nationwide tracker... Isn't this just Big Brother in disguise? LOL. Apple finally stood up, although I don't fully trust them either, but this time it really is anti-human.

India's move is really ruthless—nationwide GPS tracking? Isn't this basically putting electronic shackles on everyone?

ngl, India's approach is pretty ruthless, tracking everyone like this... Isn't that the whole point of web3, to use decentralization to avoid this kind of thing?
