Prove it. Give me your email address, and I'll send you my phone number. Then you can tell me my current location.

- mrguyorama 4y agoSo you are saying just because Verizon doesn't sell location data a la carte to an individual that they cannot possibly sell it to anyone?
- TechBro8615 4y agoI read your comment of "and law enforcement" as implying non-law enforcement can also purchase location data "regularly" and "cheaply." What's an "individual?" Does it really make a difference if it's you or your LLC requesting my data? I have no - ok, maybe some - doubt that mobile internet service providers are selling "anonymized" and "aggregate" location data - but I seriously doubt they are selling individualized location data of a specific phone number to anyone who pays the right amount of money. I'm not trying to be daft; if I'm wrong I would really like to know the details of how/where this is possible, and also how I can opt out of it.
- lrvick 4y agoWatch the video I linked in our other thread. The only way to opt out is leaving your phone in airplane mode or off except in emergencies. Or switch to a one-way pager which cannot be pinged.
- lrvick 4y agoIt tends to cost around $200 for a pings that are sold on dark markets as people selling risk getting their bulk access accounts banned. You can buy one for yourself if you are curious.
