@aral I don't know who you think you're talking to, but you should be talking to the administrator of your Mastodon site. Each individual site has an individual administrator and that administrator is the one who can decide to allow or block on their site. If they all choose to block, then we don't have to deal with that. If yours doesn't, you might have to move to another site with an administrator who won't put up with this.

@rms The form will not allow me to sign the petition without my going out and buying a mobile phone and then giving them the number. I'm not doing that.

@rms but the first warning came from independent scientists in 1912. While there is no excuse for them, there is little excuse for the rest of us either.

@dsfgs @rms Don't worry about the location data that Google has, a quick request to your ISP will get a track of everywhere your phone has ever been while it was turned on. Some ISPs don't even require a search warrant.
