Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

    As someone with nothing to hide, I’m ok with this.

    Edit: Bunch of perverts, sexual harassers, and scammers on lemmy huh? Only cements my stance on increased police presence…

      Alright, then show me your text messages and location data over the past year. If you have nothing to hide then it should be no big deal, right?

        Show me your badge; identify yourself as a law enforcement officer and we got a deal.

          I don’t need to show you a badge. No one does. I can’t just go get your info from the data broker.

          Perhaps you see the problem here…

            I believe there has been a case of this. I remember a person phished some service to give them access to a person’s account or account data under the guise of “lives are on the line here”. Might’ve also spoofed the email, but either way, he managed to get it

            Edit: something like this

              Once I looked celebrity’s well-known family member just to see how bad data brokers are. It game me her info and it had a relative section that listed all of the celebrity’s info too, including addresses and phone numbers. It was bonkers that it was so easy to find. Especially, since I didn’t pay for it. That was just 100% free searches on various data sites and google. Imagine what I could have done if I had paid for info.

          Since due process is off the table, we’ve determined (without a trial) that you’re not a citizen, and you’re being deported to a country you’ve never been to, where they will imprison you at our request, and they don’t speak any language you do.

          Why? Because we’re ICE. Fuck you.

      Take your clothes off then, and burn them, if you’ve ‘got nothing to hide’. Let’s see your address and ssn. Where do you work, and what position do you hold?

      Oh, suddenly you have changed your stance on the matter… funny how that works.

      Try searching for yourself and let the realization and dread set in that most of those hypothetical questions I just asked, I can find out, without needing to ask you directly - because you’ve given them away, while having ‘nothing to hide’.

      Scrolling through your comment history I see at a glance you’ve deleted several of your own comments so you have at least something to hide

      As someone with nothing to hide, I’m ok with this.

      Do you want to live in 1984? Because this is how we get to 1984.
