Anonymous, 08 Dec 2025Oh, where are the Sanchar Saathi defenders now?
All that c... moreI would suggest you to check out the amount of data that Sanchaar Sathi takes on Play Store.
After this, if you have any problems with location tracking, then keep your location tracking on your phone off 24x7 and then see.

Darth Caesium, 06 Dec 2025You may blindly defend every indefensible action that your ... moreFirst of all, where did text come from? Neither sanchar saathi, nor the proposed location tracking by Jio and other telecom services, can read texts or derive any information from the phone. Just go to Google Play store and see for yourself how much data Sanchaar Saathi aap takes, none, it collects not even a single KB of data. Very high quality analysis indeed.
My point is, that every person already has their location on 24x7, that apps like Instagram, Facebook and Google, take 24x7 (also, see how much data these apps take on Play store, its mind blowing), then what is wrong if there is always -on satelitte tracking? That is my only point. On Sanchaar Sathi, it is for citizens own safety, not for data collection, as the propoganda suggests.
All in all, it was just a proposal that I supported and gave my points on. If someone has a problem with location tracking and Sanchaar Sathi, then they should also delete all apps that take such data and more, and keep their location tracking off 24x7, else they are hypocrites.

Anonymous, 06 Dec 2025An absolutely idiotic and small minded take on government t... moreLocation tracking, and corruption, are independent of each other.
How can corruption increase if my government knows my location? What nonsense?
And seriously, if somebody is really scared of their privacy when their democratically elected government has their location, then they should also delete Instagram, snapchat, facebook and every Google app. Otherwise, call yourself a hypocrite.

The one who were defending were the people paid by this government to do so, all just to convince other innocent unsuspecting people. This government is master in this tactic, they did this before during the demonitisation as well if you remember.

All that chest-thumping about “it’s just for your safety” aged like milk.
The moment the app got canned, boom — the government drops the mask and now wants to roll out always-on surveillance, because apparently nothing says “public service” like tracking every citizen 24/7.

naap51d, 07 Dec 2025but but but it is for "your safety & security"... moreDon't ever believe what your government tell you. They tell lies, break promises easily, and change rules as often as they want just to fit their needs.
The same thing happened in Indonesia several years ago, when the government push the rule to link phone number to ID card (so it was not only revealing our private data but also limit how we can acquire new phone numbers). They said it was to stop the scammer. Guess what? we still have scammers now, and worse than that ALL of our data was leaked to the dark net.

LOL.
World economy for sure is failing and this money like system getting nowhere but a casual washmaschine nothing else.
Hope soon or later all money will be the part of the history books and we all will live in a lot better world without money.
From hunger for money and powerty only another war can become. World is really evil nowdays all that will be left is a ruins and a scattered economy troughout the world.
Hope the last will shut down the lights when he will be leaving.
MOney been never a future of the world. Rich or poor we all are same. We all are humans and born from one mother and one father.
In the end we all are family and i really believe into this.

India is moving rapidly towards being a surveillance state. The incumbent BJP led coalition government is trying its level best to control the masses and appease it's political backers.
