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.

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

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.

    I used to put my phone in a faraday bag until I realized that it blocks location services from being used, which is apparently illegal where I live.
