Confirming what I've been saying for years, again, 4 major USA telephone companies sued for selling user location data.
In June 2018, the four major U.S. carriers promised to stop selling their mobile customers' location info to third-party data brokers after a security problem leaked the real-time location of U.S. cellphone users. Despite the carriers' promises, a Motherboard investigation found in January 2019 that they were still selling access to their customers' location data.
Now, this is not the "location data" thing on your phone that sends your location to Google or Apple. This is the direct take from the cell towers. They're not supposed to even be able to access that without a warrant, much less sell it. But they ARE selling it.
Court mandated GPS locators offer MORE privacy to the people they are clamped on than your phone does to you.

There is good reason I assume the mic. is "hot" and keep saying, "They shoot spies, don't they?"
I'm posting another one today, Amazon Alexa records what goes on in your house and Amazon KEEPS ALL THE RECORDINGS. And by "keeps" I mean forever. All the voice assistants do, but Amazon seems particularly fervent about it.
Why would anyone hire one's own personal 24/7/365/6 Stasi agent?
