Primarily0617, 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) your phone can't work if your carrier doesn't know where you are on top of that, advertisers put bluetooth receivers everywhere, which will log your phone as having been nearby, even if you don't connect on top of that, you can do the same bluetooth trick with wifi endpoints plus your phone has a gps/glonass/whatever receiver in it probably other reasons too but those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head yes you can maybe mitigate all of these, but there are probably ones i haven't thought of that people much smarter than me have, so why take the risk?
