Not only is Brian wrong, I remember a university showed that they could identify the home address of a senior pentagon official by correlating public device location data. They took the data and pattern matched finding that one device from a home went to the pentagon and the other to a university where the wife worked. I can’t find that article but there are a number of others. https://www.wired.com/story/phone-data-us-soldiers-spies-nuclear-germany/ The biggest concern is that it is likely that everyone who is going to these rallies are being monitored and on a “watch list”. It’s scary to think that based on freely available information that doesn’t require warrants and other legal due process, you could be identified. The possibilities of abuse are sobering. A couple that come to mind. Being individually targeted for IRS or other increased scrutiny, being doxxed, if in a high density of “protestors” possibly having your neighbourhood funding and services targeted, targeted political ads. Maybe the price of Facebook and our smart phones is higher than we realised. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
