Why am I not surprised. I try not to think about this but it is depressing. So much potential in all the tech we have and it’s being squandered by paranoid government officials and corrupt business men.

I'm not sure that it'd be possible to make it truly anonymous and have it actually still work. But, yes... What's depressing is that they're taking advantage of this and there are no current privacy laws that make selling this data illegal. They don't even need a warrant to get it. They need a warrant to force a telco to hand the data over - but the telco can give the data over freely or just charge for it.
It's not illegal, unfortunately. The two best options to fight it are going to (probably) come from the ACLU and the EFF.

You are probably right. Honestly I do wonder if human nature just prevents this type of thing from not happening in big business. Its like when people get enough money they just can't help themselves. Sad.

I guess the only way to be free is using a chink phone with no SIM. Only connect to open wifi and talk using some app that doesn't require a phone number. This, of course, makes a cellphone useless.

You still have a MAC address and much wifi is already plotted to a geolocation by access point name.
The reality is, treat your cell phone like it is compromised and insecure - because it is.

Yeah, this is why the phone must be a chink phone. Not attached to you and disposable. But anyway, there's no point. Computers have backdoors below OS level, phones are a leakfest.
