India's looking at a wild new surveillance play: mandatory satellite tracking on every smartphone, 24/7. The pitch? Better precision monitoring. The pushback? Apple, Google, and Samsung aren't having it. Their concern is legit—constant location tracking obliterates user privacy. This raises bigger questions: Where's the line between security and surveillance? Can governments demand backdoor access to our devices? In a world where data sovereignty matters more than ever, this proposal feels like a stress test for digital rights.

India's move is truly ingenious—24-hour satellite tracking? The government wants to put us all in a surveillance cage.

This satellite tracking plan in India... to put it bluntly, it's like turning your phone into an ankle monitor from a prison, tracking you 24/7. The amount of data... I ran it through my quantitative model, and if this thing really gets implemented, the concept of privacy will probably crash through the floor. How will tech stocks survive? Apple and Google have already sensed the risk—smart move. Looking at historical cycles, every time government power overreaches, it becomes an entry point for the data security sector. But the problem is... it's really hard to say how long this wave will last.

India's move is truly ruthless—24-hour satellite tracking of mobile phones... Isn't this blatant surveillance? And they're even forcing Apple and others to comply.

India's move is really something else—24-hour satellite tracking, and privacy is completely gone.

Here we go again? 24/7 satellite tracking... Is India turning phones into electronic shackles?
