So have you ever though of that just about everywhere you go you are being tracked, by someone or you can be. With this being the age of electronics there are all types of ways we can be tracked and the government is now starting to get worried about it.

Digitized Stalking Is the New World Order

In a "white paper” entitled On Locational Privacy, and How to Avoid Losing it Forever, the group warns how everyday ways of life and our gadgets are transforming us into a digitized stalking society.

"Over the next decade, systems which create and store digital records of people's movements through public space will be woven inextricably into the fabric of everyday life. We are already starting to see such systems now, and there will be many more in the near future,” the report said.

The EFF writes that threats to "locational privacy” include:

  • * Monthly transit swipe-cards.
  • * Electronic tolling devices (FastTrak, EZpass, congestion pricing)
  • * Cellphones.
  • * Services telling you when your friends are nearby.
  • * Searches on your PDA for services and businesses near your current location.
  • * Free Wi-Fi with ads for businesses near the network access point you're using
  • * Electronic swipe cards for doors.
  • * Parking meters you can call to add money to, and which send you a text message when your time is running out.

So is this something that worries you?
