I’ve been warning people for years. The danger in things like this isn’t in each one’s capabilities, and this one is pretty creepy on it’s own, but in those companies and organizations out there who are aggregating many (if not all) of them together. That can even include DNA, as well as all public and private records that can be bought, social media, app data, etc.

They have been doing it for years, even for political purposes. I beleive the cambridge analytica scandal was over 10 years ago. These companies, particularly the ones with darker motives, have probably put their growth and capacities on steroids since then.

The government wants to disarm us after 245 yrs 'cuz they plan to do are doing things we would shoot them for!

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason

Didn’t 2000 Mules use this kind of data?

"...It relies on advertising identification numbers..."

Which can be reset on an iPhone as often as you want.
and wouldn't a farady bag help out?

IIRC the courts...perhaps even SCOTUS...have ruled that the cops can put one of those GPS tracking devices on your car without a warrant.I'm almost certain I've read that recently. If that's correct it seems that the same would apply here. This country's more and more like East Germany every day.

Fascinating that the crAP barely criticizes Fog and gives a ringing endorsement mid-story to crimes Fog has solved, but crAP flipped their wig when nearly-identical phone/location data was used to fully confirm illegal ballot harvesting in "2000 Mules".

The AP alone is enough reason to re-establish suspending habeus corpus for journolists in the US.

Yes. This is exactly what the FIB used to know who was where on Jan 6 so they could know who to go after.

This is exactly what True the Vote used to find the 2,000 mules who stuffed ballot boxes in key big cities in swing states to steal the 2020 presidential election.

[sten]

imagine if you knew the gps coordinates of ballot drop boxes in battleground states ... you could find people making ‘rounds’ back and forth stuffing all the boxes

oh wait... that’s already been shown. and the FBI couldn’t care less. go figure.

You used to be able to reset your advertising ID in IOS. It doesn’t appear that you can do that anymore.
