The prospect of individual's having "natural safety" doesn't sound as dangerous in a society that can distinguish where "Your freedom to swing your fists ends where my nose begins" ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. As we face the inextricable amalgamation of corporate and state power I think it's important to take note when technology companies frequently demand permission for location and other personal data, then attempt to justify this by telling us it's for our "safety." Obviously it's almost always for the same reason corporations exist in the first place, to perpetuate wage slavery and further the interests of the authoritarian oligarchs that control them.
