Title: Your Phone is a Narc!
Post by: Ben on September 30, 2021, 08:12:12 AM
A research study claims that your phone can, with a 90% success rate,  narc on you for smoking the marijuana cigarettes:

I heard it on the news this morning, and the research is apparently out of Rutger's. One of the pundits made a good point though - the cops don't need to analyze your phone's sensors, they just need to check your Uber Eats app to see how many pizzas you ordered.  :laugh:

I figure either some security will get built into smartphones in the future or people will stop carrying them.  I would say we could go back to dumb flip phones, but there is no guaranty they wouldn't have the same stuff running in the background.

Your texts to your drug dealer are far more likely to narc on you than anything else, especially if he gets picked up.
