@Illecors other reports don’t even mention GPS, mobile internet is considered the threat vector. This is akin to Oakland turning off BART’s internet during protests sparked by the killing of Oscar Grant. Totalitarian regimes whether its Erdoğan’s Turkey, American cities with large protests, Iran, or Russia feel compelled to control communication and information. North Korea never even let’s comms/info get turned on.
Yes, but AGPS is not GPS. And GPS receivers are tiny already. So this makes no difference to anything.
