We work pretty close with our city manager. This is mainly to coordinate events and things like that. The city recently invested in some software that tracks cell phones. Today, he was reviewing the participation of an event we had last year.

He was able to tell us how many cellphones were at our location, where those people came from, and where they went to afterward. The information goes back 5 yrs.

So, if some little dinky town in Alabama has this ability, imagine what the really smart and really well funded organizations are doing. Sleep tight.

Municipal governments implemented these programs in order to qualify for government funds ( in most cases)

They tracked J6 folks within 3' of their constant locations in the Capitol.

Libs love the technology when it's used to persecute political prisoners.

When the same tech is used to track ballot traffickers? Not so much. Crazy how nature do dat.

At least in the Soviet Union they weren't flooding their country with third world trash.

America is the most tyrannical place on earth.

Oh yeah and every car manufactured after 2018 invades your privacy constantly. Doesn't matter who the manufacturer is.


We need a constitutional right to privacy.

Government can pinpoint your location to within 2 feet. I wouldn't be surprised if you disable the GPS feature that it would prevent a phone being located.

Agreed, especially when you consider the information that providers like Google get from correlating email, calendars, web browsing, cell phone calls and geolocation, ...

Phone trackers and cameras are all over D.C.,

except the neighborhood where Seth Rich jogged.

Dude that's such a bad faith example. lol

If you were inside the Capitol on J6, you were knowingly trespassing and should not have been there. I have huge problems with geofence warrants more broadly because they are abused. J6 is a great example of them being used correctly imo.

I came across this technology about 5 years ago for something unrelated.

Every cell phone number has a unique "anonymized" identification number that maps to GPS. I believe the carriers sell the data to private companies which scrape the data and turn around and sell it for different uses.

Theoretically can be very valuable across all sorts of applications for monitoring consumer and industrial behavior for all sorts of applications.

It sounds like some Alex Jones type shite but the technology is real. Last I heard, Europe was looking at banning it.

This is exactly why I have found the 2000 Mules case to be credible at a minimum (because they used this technology), and Bill Barr's smug dismissal of it, to be a joke. But it needed to be fleshed out further and we didn't get much more following the documentary, to my knowledge.

I've thought about doing stuff like if you're a company selling my data, you should have to give me a cut of the money. Every person should control a 50% stake (at least) in the monetization of your data.

We're a long way away from that. The first thing I want to know is what data is public, where it is, who has it, how long they have it for, and can ask if it can be removed.

It's not the same. Catherine Engelbrecht with True the Vote (who provided the research that 2000 Mules presented) stated that the geo-data they bought was only accurate to 100 feet.

No they can't.

You people act like you have chips embedded under your skin or some shite.

Just put the motherfricking phone down.

ETA: All these downvotes from people who willingly bought these devices, and willingly take them with them wherever they go - and still bitch and moan.

Seems precise enough to warrant further scrutiny at a minimum.

If you're able to come up with a plausible explanation as to why target individuals would run specific routes TO a given NGO > Drop boxes where often IDed dropping MULTIPLE ballots > Return to NGO for payment, often at insane hours of the night MULTIPLE times that doesn't involve systemic election fraud, I'm all to hear it.

Turn off Location Services, use a burner, turn on Airplane mode when you can.

Also interesting considering the dope that was left outside/inside the situation room that no cameras or phones were linked to the area.

Seems we have technology to seek out even the smallest target abroad for crimes he/she committed from thousands of miles away without ever meeting them then dropping a pin point him on their location with intel.

But Nope, can’t locate who this bag of coke is for near one of the most important business rooms in the free world.
We are all being played.

It would be impressive, were it not so terrifying at its reservation for being used to persecute those guilty of wrongthink
