At least you can choose not to use their services. Not much choosing going on in North Korea

I guess a smart phone would be a luxury item in NK. So one could chose not to use one instead of being tracked?
In Germany the government and police use the word Quellentelekommunikationsüberwachung (source telecommunication surveillance) when they express their desire to have a Trojan on someone’s phone - to protect the children of course.
So the phenomenon is not unknown outside of NK.

Yeah, right, as if that can be used by humans, or if it’s even a word.

It means “telecommunication source surveillance”.

The ones who have the ability to own such luxury might be. Sorta like how some jobs require it in other parts of the world.
