with this level of accuracy and that sword missile with no warhead they can drone strike you in a cafe with disturbing the other patrons

Guys, they can just ask social media Corp A where you are. They don't need no fancy tech here.

Not even, your SIM in constantly pinging multiple towers and triangulating you

slight quibble: That triangulates your phone. Social media (unless you're letting LLMs talk for your) is triangulating _you_.

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.

Just think about it, folks.

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.
