India's pushing for 24/7 satellite tracking on every smartphone—sounds dystopian? Major tech players aren't having it. Apple, Google, and Samsung all pushed back hard, flagging serious privacy concerns. The proposal would let authorities pinpoint device locations constantly, which raises red flags about mass surveillance. In a world where crypto users already worry about financial privacy and data sovereignty, this kind of government overreach hits different. Decentralization advocates have been warning about this trajectory for years—centralized control over personal data never ends well. The tech giants' resistance might be corporate self-interest, but they're not wrong about the risks here.

India's tactics are classic Big Brother surveillance moves—crypto users saw through this ages ago. --- But Apple and Google taking sides this time is surprising... definitely smells like vested interests. --- 24/7 satellite tracking? How far are we from a metaverse dictatorship? --- Centralized power is always the same: first it’s “for your safety,” then it’s all about surveillance. --- No wonder people want decentralization. Just look at how traditional tech giants get milked by governments. --- LOL, Apple and Google oppose it under the banner of privacy, but maybe they just don’t want to be the ones forced into compliance. --- India’s tactics are really something else—even more blatant than some other countries... --- The crypto community has been preparing for this day for a long time—on-chain is where true sovereignty lies. --- So who should control your data? Apple or you? --- This is a textbook case for why decentralization is needed.

India's move is really something else, 24-hour satellite tracking... Isn't this just blatant Big Brother? Oh my, Apple and Google finally said something reasonable, but don't get too happy just yet. Cryptobros saw this coming a long time ago—centralization always ends up like this. Just wait, sooner or later other countries will follow... We really have no privacy left. By the way, can the tech giants stop it this time? Doesn't seem likely. Why does it feel like the whole world is vying to be a dystopian testing ground?

ngl, this time seeing big tech companies push back against the government is kinda satisfying... Even though they're not exactly good guys either, haha --- Satellite tracking every phone? India really wants to go big with this. --- Yet another "for your safety" excuse... same old routine --- The crypto space has been talking about this centralized control issue for ages, now finally the mainstream is seeing it too. --- Apple and Google siding with us for once... that's a first --- Wait, 24/7 global tracking? Isn't that basically putting everyone in a giant prison? --- To put it simply, it's just unchecked power... Makes the Web3 path feel more and more necessary. --- They're pushing back just because they're afraid they won't be able to sell the data as easily, lol --- If this really goes through, I need to add India to my escape list.

India's move is really clever—24-hour satellite tracking. Isn't this the ultimate Big Brother surveillance? I told you, Big Tech actually did the right thing this time. Otherwise, our privacy would really be gone. Once again, centralized power is causing trouble. I've seen through this trick long ago.
