I wish I could remember whose post it was, but someone made a pretty thoughtful post about how everyone's becoming so dependent on popular tech tools.
One of the implications was that the state is also dependent on those tools for finding people and anyone who opts out of the mainstream apps becomes almost invisible.
I cannot remember, either. However, I am very happy not to use a smartphone, let alone apps on one. Some things I have to borrow a phone to do, but I will not carry one or use it if I can avoid it. I like neither the dependency nor the surveillance aspects of that tool.
