I think they get at us in every way possible. It's almost impossible to do anything with a government department without going online and using apps like MyGov. They have Medicare and tax linked to it, vehicle registration and individual's licensing and for disabled, retirees or those on pensions it can't be done any other way. It sucks. There's other elements to it as well, but you get my point; having a zero digital footprint is a thing of the past I think.
I like to think things are pretty secure for me, but yeah, I have a phone and so they know pretty much everything they need to know, including where I am. I have started turning my personal phone off a lot, I don't care if I miss calls and texts, those who know me and I want to respond to, will wait. I leave it home a lot also, I just don't need to be that connected to everything you know?
I think I'd be a lot more conscious of it and play games as you're doing if I had more time in my day but I struggle to get things done so have to just push on with it I guess.
Thanks for commenting. This post popped into my head based on yours, so thanks.
