Edward Snowden @Snowden

Citizens would rise up in outrage if the government mandated that every person carry a tracking device revealing their location and identity 24 hours a day. Yet in the last decade we have become, app by app, subject to just such a system. https://t.co/7BKn9VMTzW — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

Your smartphone broadcasts your exact location thousands of times per day to dozens of different companies. Each has the power to follow individuals wherever they go, in near-real time. That’s not a glitch in the system. It is the system. https://t.co/2D8ttMKIWD — PolitiTweet.org

@unitedfreedom3 Yes, it limits what location data is shared by the phone's operating system with *apps*. It does nothing to prevent the actual phone companies controlling the cell towers you are dependent on from tracking & recording your movements. @ATT saves tower info going back to 2008! — PolitiTweet.org
