    So glad we have a private company that we have no affiliation with tracking practically every phone on the planet. Feels like this “feature” is illegal by way of wiretapping and stalking laws.

      Wiretapping requires a lot more than just locating the signal. The signals are encrypted.

      Well the US has a pretty strong affiliation with SpaceX, given that they permit all their launches. Also, I can’t imagine the US would get away with launching similar technology themselves as exclusively military satellites - other nations would object.
