EXCLUSIVE-India weighs greater phone-location surveillance; Apple, Google and Samsung protest

India is reviewing a proposal for mandatory always-on satellite location tracking in smartphones, opposed by Apple, Google, and Samsung due to privacy concerns. The proposal aims to improve surveillance accuracy but raises significant privacy and security issues. No global precedent exists for such device-level tracking, and the debate has intensified following the revocation of a state-run app mandate. The proposal could turn phones into surveillance devices, sparking concerns among privacy advocates and industry experts.
