not valid because carrying a tag around that dials home and informs someone of your location every second or two is not at all the same as not using telecommunications

and "government surveillance" is a dog whistle... plenty of bad people who take control of these systems for their own benefits who aren't in the government, in fact that little cloak you speak of is just a way for these pigs to hide behind a shield that makes everyone look the other way when you say the magic words

anyhow, idk why i'm trying to explain this to someone who clearly is quite brainwashed to the conspiracy theorist theory
