I've tried many times to explain to people things like that GPS satellites do not track you, and there are things you can do with your own phone which drastically cut down on tracking. There's no interest, no understanding that I'm simultaneously sharing their concerns while trying to tell them that they aren't powerless. They just think surveillance is a foregone conclusion, and then distance themselves and rationalize it any number of ways, and then share their nutty mechanism-of-action condemnations as a way of advertising their political tribe.
I don't have poor technical understanding. I am pointing out one of the loopholes companies are using to exploit customers: "privacy agreements."
If you want an in-depth technical analysis of how big tech does spy on you, just ask. I can provide a few case studies using OSINT and "hypothetical" speak, so as not to break NDA.
