How to Track President Trump (scary stuff for everyone)
NyTimes ^

Posted on 12/20/2019 7:13:10 AM PST by janetjanet998

IF YOU OWN A MOBILE PHONE, its every move is logged and tracked by dozens of companies. No one is beyond the reach of this constant digital surveillance. Not even the president of the United States. The Times Privacy Project obtained a dataset with more than 50 billion location pings from the phones of more than 12 million people in this country. It was a random sample from 2016 and 2017, but it took only minutes — with assistance from publicly available information — for us to deanonymize location data and track the whereabouts of President Trump.

When we first started working with the data, we wanted to see if any sensitive sites were included. I zoomed into the Pentagon and saw this.

Prez probably has 10-20 phones laying about, just for this purpose.

Then we scrolled over the White House. Surely not that many pings here? In the West Wing? Then this popped up. Each dot traceable, usually back to someone’s home.

@AbeShinzo

Uh, no. Them printing a road map for suicidal morons to think they can intercept... is foolish and wrong in the extreme.

His phone is quite different. Especially the encrypted Sat Phone which these morons apparently have forgotten about.

Stuart Thompson looks like his dad-— Heinrich Himmler. Even has the same 20’s off clear plastic frames for his round glasses.

This little prick does not know a single thing about what his obamaumao embed FBI freaked out handlers try to manipulate him with.

See this for what this is— the fibbies who are going to be cleaned out, further and not by Director Wray.

Sending a “message” to the President- what morons. The FISA court chief and Admiral Rogers have already shut them down— through internal security measures. Point in fact- they try to do this, without a warrant and No Such Agency has them on a tag list. Tag— you’rrrrrrre IT! Next!

The Secret Service WILL be paying this little nazi and his team SEVERAL visits, and removing their chi-com pals in the techie “resistance” world of ball-less little drones.

The nyt’s hatred for Trump extends this far, so as to give terrorists a ready means of locating him. The left is not content with their impeachment. They want terrorists to help them in their goal.

In a rational country, the nyt would have been already shut down and the whole staff, except janitors, out of work.

Let this be a lesson for those of you who occasionally use BURNER PHONES. NEVER USE YOUR BURNER from your residence or your office.

Of course your phone is tracked. How do people think the mobile network knows what tower to use?

But this is not too hard to work around if you have the tech, and I would be shocked if President Trump has not be supplied with the necessary tech.

Really good point.

And “use” also includes even having it turned on. When a cell phone is “on” it’s always repeatedly pinging with its unique identifier creating a record of its location at the time of each of its pings.
