tracking people by mobile phone

Singtel must get consent from the mobile phone user to be tracked & he/she can refuse to give the consent - so in the end nobody is the wiser.

Best don’t use it often

Haha, what about the time when they questioned the lady who joked about Mas on the phone.

Well, anyway good for you if you think Big Brother isnt watching. If you think you're safe you probably are.

MohamedF SG

I dont know the specifics, but isnt the government able to track you even if your handphone is switched off. You got to take out the battery to prevent that, which is the same as throwing your phone away.

He's a secret... the one that track you, it's the guy you keep seeing whenever you enters a coffee shop, your teacher, your boss, your mother, your friends, the cctv you pass by...

you are monitored by someone all the time... the government just need to bring them down for coffee...

in addition, the government have listening posts everywhere...

maggot SG

del.

freedomclub SG

Or...go live on a deserted island. That'll solve LOTS of problems but....

what, they monitor all the phone calls? how many people will you need to monitor all the phone calls? 1000? 2000? you want to tell me a computer is able to moniter the phone conversation, and highlight mas to human operator? actually, why don't you tell me more about the woman who joke about mas thing.

maggot SG

Honestly, I dont remember. Just vague outlines. But I bet the NSA has technology to mine phone conversations for certain words, just as it has the capability to do the same for emails. And whats stopping a good ally like SG from having that technology? If you ask me, I dont know whether or not our government has that technology. But its out there, thats for sure.

lianamaster SG

If we have a clear conscience... I guess it shouldn't bother anyone of us....

skythewood SG

than tell me about the vague details. some stuff you may feel trivial, like whether the government needs to spend a considerable amount on this monitoring thingie or not, but i believe details is what makes an argument compelling

MohamedF SG

Who say singapore government don't tap your phone? oops...

skythewood SG

Who say singapore government don't tap your phone? oops...

yup, that's why the police solved so many telephone scammers.... not.

freedomclub SG

You're really persistent aren't you. I just remember that a lady got questioned by the police for joking about Mas on the phone. People were wondering how the government knew. Trivial stuff: arguing whether it costs money to set up surveillance (which was stupid of me I admit).

Do you know the government is tracking Singaporeans. I dont think so. Do you know they are not? Probably not too. You dont know. I dont know. I'm just speculating in the absence of details (unless you work for the ISD).

MohamedF SG

ok... lets go with that...

skythewood SG

by exploring the details, you can make an educated guess of the truth. you don't really want to do that, do you?

freedomclub SG

I know I should. But as it is, do I really care if the Singapore Government can spy on us? Its not as if Singapore is a shining beacon of civil liberty.

While on the subject, does anyone really think they can escape from being tracked while on the DoD toy called the Internet?

than don't post such things. in the end is just spreading hear says.

freedomclub SG

Then pray, fill me in. Educate me with your superior mind.

P.S Its hearsay.

i do not claim to be superior, but i would like you to not brush me aside like you did when i enquired about the budget that is needed to monitor every singaporeans like in big brother.
