Two stories this week:
- Police have used “Fog Reveal” to search hundreds of billions of records, taken from apps on 250M mobile devices, and it is cheap, just a few thousand per year. The data can create location analyses known among law enforcement as “patterns of life,” and they believe it is legal for them to do so
- Meanwhile Kochava has been sued for the very same thing, except they provide specifics instead of patterns
Don’t use apps, is the message
