       Location data is one of the most important and revealing data points about all of us. The recent reveal of the Locate X software shows exactly how law enforcement can use it. Here’s what you can do. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/11/creators-police-location-tracking-tool-arent-vetting-buyers-heres-how-protect

       @eff I find it absolutely crazy how many guides are showing up now to improve on your #privacy posture as protection FROM the government. Scary times.

       @eff Some people underestimate how toxic location data is. I'm counting on it.

       @eff bear in mind that police can associate phones if they travel together, so don't get a 'special activity' phone and have it on at the same time and in the same place as your normal phone. The correlation is made through cell tower triangulation but could presumably also be done through any other locators (same or different type per phone). This can be done retrospectively by data mining, so be careful from the moment you get the second phone.
