The carriers sold “real-time location information to data aggregators, allowing this highly sensitive data to wind up in the hands of bail-bond companies, bounty hunters, and other shady actors,” FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement.

“Smartphones are always with us, and as a result these devices know where we are at any given moment,” Rosenworcel said. Citing the sensitivity of geolocation data, she added, “In the wrong hands, it can provide those who wish to do us harm the ability to locate us with pinpoint accuracy.”

      This was literally my first time ever using it. As I said, it’s a great tool. I’m not criticizing the work at all.
