Hilarious that people think the governments of the world actually would want to chip everyone, usually giving the reason that the state government wants to 'control' you.
When as we all know, the technology to pinpoint what we are doing our lives and exactly where we are, have been available for years. Namely Facebook, Amazon, SFFChronicles, mobile phones, personal computers, electronic banking, surveillance cameras, credit scores, electoral registration etc. Why go to the huge cost of soddin' putting microships in people, when you have such an extensive and useful network to tap into!
From memory, I remember reading that a pair or researchers about
ten years ago showed that merely with publically available information from social media sites (Facebook I believe), they could pinpoint a persons location to about 100 metres in realtime, in a country like the US. Now of course they could do much better if they had
all e-data that a person generates, not just the public stuff. But that would mean that organisations such as MI5/MI6/FBI/CIA ar illegally delving into all that data.

Yeah! It seems obvious to me that the dark recesses of these organisations,this is exactly what is happening.
I think the only saving grace is that there are millions of us and billions and trillions of bits of data being generated and not that many spies, thus we are shielded somewhat. And currently I don't think computer AI ain't that good for sifting through such a vast resource.
However, if I were a neferious government agency looking for global domination and control of the 'plebs' I'd stoke up a bit of conspiracy fear about 'chips in the head' then after letting it run for a bit, make sure that every sensible person knows that all this chip stuff is nonsense, so that they will sleep easily, feeling free. In the meantime I'd be using and improving the usual avenues of spying via the internet, the social websites etc.
