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.

      I have a fully automatic 2x18tb magic hard drive. I’m a member of 4 private trackers. I’ve been disabling JavaScript since I could click a mouse.

      404 are legit journalists and I pay the $8 a month because they do damn good work.
