I flew back to Canada on January 19th after a 3 month work trip to Central America. On the last leg of my flight departing from El Salvador to Toronto, I could NOT board the plane without showing proof I had downloaded and registered on the app. I didn't know this until the boarding process.
It is NOT optional.....the feds have the airlines forcing you to download it or you can't board.
When I landed, at customs they demand your 'registration code' from the app.
I immediately deleted the app the moment I left the airport. Then on day 3 of my 14 day quarantine I started getting emails that I wasn't responding to inquiries about my 'status' that the app was supposedly asking me. So the gov started calling me.
For the remainder of my quarantine, I received 5 more phone calls from the government checking in on me.
Nah fuck it, I've got an old rotary phone in storage that I used before I got a smartphone. Includes nothing is great, I just want a phone and nothing else. I'm getting increasingly tired of all this technology, it's becoming obvious it's a giant mousetrap.

After mine dies I am getting a landline. It's just getting too weird for me these days.
