Its completely amazing to me how companies fooled us into paying for devices which are used to expose our habits. If cell phones were free, perhaps there would be less complaints. The fact that we each finance devices that can be used against us by companies and even government is bewildering. Make no mistake, turning off your phone does nothing.
