NEW DELHI, Dec 5 (Reuters) - India’s government is reviewing a telecom industry proposal to force smartphone firms to enable satellite location tracking that is always activated for better surveillance, a move opposed by Apple, Google and Samsung due to privacy concerns, according to documents, emails and five sources.

Ironic that Samsung and Google are protesting this when they do their own surveillance

It’s not surveillance when they do it :smiley:

It seems India could become a good friend of North Korea :+1:

China and Russia first before NK.
