“The PTB located many of them via their cell phones.”
Even worse, I’m sure many denied being in DC on Jan 6th, not thinking their cell phones would squeal (or thinking that Apple would NEVER hand over that data to the feds). So now they have to deal with charges of lying to the feds.
But even so, if they left their phones at home and drove their, they’d be picked up by license plate cameras, so they’d still be nailed.
Bottom line, our government is only slightly behind China in being able to reconstruct the movements of anyone we choose. We might as well learn to deal with it.
Not Apple. AT&T that owned CNN and other carriers, such as the one who took it upon itself to block texts of information about Covid that the regime doesn’t approve.
