   Besides the problem that you than won't be able to recieve phonecalls, and   
   that such a phone will drain its battery because it keeps trying to find a   
   phone tower ?   
      
   Or that just shutting-down the phone (or possibly putting it into "airplane   
   mode") will solve it just as well ?   
      
   Or that what happens is not spying, but *very needed* to get an incoming   
   call to the phone to the tower the phone is nearest to.  Though yes, it   
   /can/ be abused.   
      
      
   I can only imagine the ruckus the poster will throw when they realise that   
   the numberplates on their cars can be seen by cops and captured by automated   
   roadside cameras (put there by the city) as well as a number of private   
   ones.  :-)   
      
   Or when they realise that paying by credit/debit card does the same - and   
   worse, shows where they /aren't/ (person X has just payed at place Y, which   
   means he is at least Z minutes away from his home/car).   
      
      
   There have been a number of similar messages lately.  Some subjectline to   
   catch your eye, above single-line message followed by one-or-more youtube   
   links (which contents are never mentioned).   Why now does that scream   
   "clickbait!" to me ?
