It's an excellent time to buy your own device for wifi broadcasting and disable any ISP provided broadcasting (or maybe put it in a faraday cage?) - it's relatively simple to set up with off the shelf components though less technically minded people may struggle with it. There's still a pretty robust market of options and the devices have gotten pretty feature rich with things like mesh networking support being pretty standard.
I more meant - you might need to help elderly relatively set it up. There are plenty of wifi routers you can order that basically just plug in out of the box - the bigger issue is educating people that they need the tech and then making sure they can handle the cable connections. I tend to work with some very non-technically minded people so my bar is so so low.
Oh! I wish you lived near Charlottesville, Virginia, where I live. I am a 77-year-old retired neurosurgical anesthesiologist. My technical aptitude is SO low that I dare not exchange my obsolete 10-year-old Comcast WiFi router for the current model that I can "basically just plug in out of the box," even though it's billed as being at least 5x faster than mine, because I don't believe their constant emails that the new one they'll send me is simple to set up. Far more likely than not I'll end up with NO WiFi and have to pay for a technician to come and do it.
Isn't it the other way around? Germany actually has it made easier to operate a public wifi by limiting the liability on the side of the wifi provider with their mid 2010s legislation.
I'm not certain of the distinction nor that the platforms are triangulating me and not my phone. Especially if you don't directly provide information about what you're doing.
And that 99% or social media users have their phone on them at all times.
If you're trying to targe tsomeone with a deadly strike, just knowing their phone is in a location is not comparable to knowing they just posted something on social media.
Sure, you can attribute a good chance of success to the movement of the phone equating a strike on the person, but it's still _just a phone_ that you're triangulating.
I find it unlikely that people a government would want to kill by drone strike would be posting about their wherabouts on social media and at the same time obfuscating their location by having their phone move without them (by someone ok with being hit by a drone strike?).
Or we're speaking about striking civilians posting on social media - where I'm not sure drone strikes are very cost effective or pertinent.
My understanding is that drone strikes aren't a thing done because you just got a hit on social media of a precise location, but more of a somewhat long investigation into the activity and identity of the target, their habits and movements (both to confirm their value and maximise sucess) - and then a calculated drone strike that both maximizes sucess and minimizes collateral.
Of course Israel does not do this and is more into the "paint a bullseye around the victim" kind of doctrine, but that's outside the scope of this discussion.
We are now in an era where we all need to learn how to regulate and modulate our own heartbeats.
Will we at some point have any rights over our biorhythmic signatures?
If not, then I will have to learn how to apply a modulation to my own internal oscillations, such that the algorithm is gonna have to use quantum power to decrypt how I'm feeling.
