What you might not know is how your trusty smartphone could be used to enforce that.

I'm here with Sophie Bushwick, our tech editor, who is going to go a little bit more into depth about the ramifications of this.

So tell me about this. What's going on?

Most people carry their phones with them wherever they go, and your phone tracks your

location.
