DHS Is Expected to Stop Buying Access to Your Phone Movements
The controversial practice has allowed for warrantless tracking of hundreds of millions of people for years.
This suggests they have other ways of tracking individuals, other than the device we all hold in our hands. If they still needed the access to track us, they would pay for it. Are we to assume the need for such data is obselete?
If they want to track a mobile phone they certainly can by presenting a subpoena to the legal compliance officer at the Telcom.
I'd not be surprised if they just had some other way to obtain the data, that's more reliable anyway. By legislating against it, maybe they dodge some contractual obligations idk, there's a million possibilities. That's a paranoid perspective.
In reality, I assume if I'm on the internet, or out in public, something somewhere is probably collecting data on me. Maybe that data is being linked somewhere, maybe it isn't. I believe privacy will be history soon. I think this will ultimately be a good thing.
However, the data is still commercialy available.
