Chipping Granny and Buddy Tracking Devices
A new product in the UK called "Buddy" allows family members to track the GPS location of elderly relatives. The hosts mock the marketing of the device, which they dub "Chipping Granny," as a form of "slave jewelry" for the elderly. They discuss the normalization of constant surveillance under the guise of safety and peace of mind.
