The government probably would t have enough money to hire people to watch our chip movements 24/7. It would probably just be a tool to use as evidence in the case of a missing person, or for verifying alibis when crimes are reported. I could be wrong. You think someone would spend their 9AM-5PM watching your gps dot move on a map? Think there’s a man, or woman, to take the next shift and watch it stay in one spot, while you sleep? That would be tough to believe, unless you’re someone really important to the government; like the president.
Who needs to constantly watch what you’re doing when the data can simply be collected and then used against you at a later time without your consent?
Also, what happens when laws change and suddenly your daily habits seem suspect? When it’s possible to figure out what people were together at a certain time and place, the government has unrivaled power and we’ve seen how that plays out multiple times. See: literally any Edward Snowden interview.
If you are genuinely arguing that you would be undisturbed by the future you put forward, I am uninterested in your opinion on anything regarding privacy or freedom.
They can already track all of that through your phone.
I just want an internal chip that monitors location AND vitals (heart rate, BP, Specific Oxygen…), so that EMS can be alerted the moment that a person is in severe distress.
Except that I’m running GrapheneOS and I can turn off my phone/put it in a faraday cage if I need to. I highly doubt either of those are going to be possible with always-on implants.

With the power of recording, AI and algorithms, mass surveillance is possible without having half of the population working for the government
