Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics (www.404media.co)

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.

You really can’t think of a solution to this?

You really think you came up with an airtight solution to device tracking that nobody in the industry has considered on a whim?

Ok how’s the industry tracking a phone with no power?

But that's not a burner phone, that's an off phone.

Keep reading the thread. I’ve already addressed this.

Really getting confused as to how people read “no power” and think “phone off” instead of “no power”.
