Privacy advocates gained access to a powerful tool bought by U.S. law enforcement agencies that can track smartphone locations around the world. Abortion clinics, places of worship, and individual people can all be monitored without a warrant.

Privacy advocates got access to Locate X, a phone tracking tool which multiple U.S. agencies have bought access to, and showed me and other journalists exactly what it was capable of. Tracking a phone from one state to another to an abortion clinic. Multiple places of worship. A school. Following a likely juror to a residence. And all of this tracking is possible without a warrant, and instead just a few clicks of a mouse.

    Okay, so we’re quoting and refuting line by line then.

    I refuse to believe I’m smarter than you or anyone else.

    It is highly unlikely that you’re the dumbest person alive. Amusing sentence though!

    These seem like obvious solutions.

    Everything you suggest seems self evident because you supply the evidence yourself.

    wanna be done so suddenly

    I’ve regretted talking to you ever since I started! You’re rude and I would never choose to continue interacting with you in real life if this was the first time I ever heard you talk.

      It should be obvious to anyone who knows the first thing about how cell phones work.

      Remember, you replied to me. You seemed quite proud of your comment and all your links. Unfortunately you completely missed the point.
