Yeah, and can I just buy that from the cell phone company without being a law enforcement agency in possession of a legally valid search warrant? If I give you my phone number, how will you find my current location?
It also seems a bit dubious to call this a "leak," since it seems unavoidable - how would the tower send data to my phone if it didn't know where I was?
- mrguyorama 4y agoThe radio station sends signals to my car without knowing it's location. It's only when my phone responds or pings a tower that they will know my accurate position. The hospital needs to know my details like cholesterol to provide me health services, but they are broadly not allowed to sell those details and if that data ended up somewhere it shouldn't be, you could adequately call it a "leak". Cell phone data should be the same way. Verizon will always know my location, because that's how physics works, but they should not be able to give that info to anyone or anything without my express permission or a warrant.
