'FYI. A Warrant Isn’t Needed': Secret Service Says You Agreed To Be Tracked With Location Data
The Secret Service has used a technology called Locate X which uses location data harvested from ordinary apps installed on phones. Because users agreed to an opaque terms of service page, the Secret Service believes it doesn't need a warrant.
You're viewing a single thread.
Agreeing to location services for the purpose of performing the apps intended use, is not the same as agreeing that the government can track your location on a whim. Where the fuck are the constitutional lawyers who fight this kind of egregious constitutional violation?
Reminds me of that disney case where they claimed agreeing to the terms on disney+ meant they could kill that guys wife.
what???
That’s insane

There should be an edit function on a comment. Of course clients and federation vary.
Apologies, those last two sentences were unnecessary and rude.
There is but I didn't want to visibly edit the comment 14 hours (or however long) after I made it.
Hope that's ok with you and a good enough reason for my choice. Or do you have more 'advice'?
We live in a post sanity world
The trick that the Government has learned is that it's easier and cheaper to buy your location data from a third party.
No warrant necessarily since the data is available to anyone who wants to buy it.
It shouldn't be though. Nothing a company gleans from your use of a product should be available for purchase by any third party. This should have been legislated two decades ago.
That's the best part, all our legislators were bought decades ago.
