  If you don’t want to be tracked illegally, don’t bring your phone.

  If you don’t want any to be tracked legally, write/call/tweet/visit your representatives.

    Ah yes, democracy is a healthy and fully functioning institution.

    You just got confused who’s sponsoring it, that’s understandable.

      I see your point. I have no illusions that democracy is healthy in modern times. Perhaps not ever? We don’t even live in a democracy any more, we live in a corporatocracy.

      But doing nothing will solve nothing.

      What else would you suggest to do about it?

        Throw it down and bring real democracy like in Switzerland

        Or throw it down and bring anarchism

        None of these are realistic, so…

    And donate to the EFF if you have the means because they can and have and will likely continue to lobby on average internet users behalf!

  I sure wouldn’t vote for someone who met with lobbyists.

  Do you?

    All politicians meet with lobbyists. It’s hard to get a handle on the needs of the nation (or state, or so on), and lobbying is how people inform their representatives of that need. Now whether those lobbyists are scumbags or saints, that’s a different question.
