    Amazon drivers have no reason to be near my home, we have standards.

      Except when you buy something in Amazon. Your can see your home also for sure in Google Street View, same as you are even in YT and webs with open life cams

      Surveillance is big business for big corps, they put it even in your home and your pocket (Alexa, Siri, GPS, smart TV, smartwatches, smartphones, credit cards, discounter apps…). Only leaving your home, going to the shop, in every city you are at least in half a dozend cams. Privacy nowadays is an illusion.

          Yes, this what the people think, a Smartphone is always locatable ⨦50m, except you switch it off

              No, but anyway it’s not correct that GPS function only works in one direction- without GPS, location is made with triangulation fron Cell Towers, which give an aprox locatiob. With GPS on they can find you with a precision of few meters. Not possible if GPS works only in one direction and also not slow, if not, an navigation app wouldn’t work.

          I’ve ordered items from eBay just to have them arrive at my house in Amazon packaging, delivered by an Amazon driver.

            I’ve started checking how they claim they’re shipping. If it says 2-4 days but doesn’t list the method, I avoid it. Also, always check the seller before purchase. I’ve noticed a lot of Israeli accounts on eBay, mostly shipping from New Jersey.
