But it kinda is though. Honestly, I don't know why but this doesn't really surprised me at all. China is, and continues to go crazy serious with their AI business so the Chinese government knowing your location shouldn't be a shock to anyone anymore. However, it's nice to finally hear the Chinese people voice their opinion about this. I mean, it's a good idea for tracking criminals, but for common people, yeah, that's just creepy.
