This is different behavior.
I work in IT, so I am painfully familiar with these things.
This isn’t about being tracked, per se. This is my concern about industry overtly working with government on these things, and doing it in the dark.
right now the NSA and other Federal Agencies have access to all your phone calls, emails and monitor all internet traffic anywhere.....
ATT, Verizon, and the other Tier 1 providers long ago allowed the Government to tap into the major Internet nodes and track everything....
If you Google Admiral Mike Rogers, who was head of the NSA, he discovered the illegal access of the tracking databases by 3 contractors to the FBI, who were not authorized to do so....
I have no real proof, but IMO the 3 contractors were doing political spying for the Obama Administration on any political enemy they had...Donald Trump was just one that got discovered.....
