Miguel Afonso Caetano"Your location data isn't just a pin on a map—it's a powerful tool that reveals far more than most people realize. It can expose where you work, where you pray, who you spend time with, and, sometimes dangerously, where you seek healthcare. In today’s world, your most private movements are harvested, aggregated, and sold to anyone with a credit card. For those seeking reproductive or gender-affirming care, or visiting a protest or a immigration law clinic, this data is a ticking time bomb.Last year, we sounded the alarm, urging lawmakers to protect individuals from the growing threats of location tracking tools—tools that are increasingly being used to target and criminalize people seeking essential reproductive healthcare.The good news? Lawmakers in California, Massachusetts, Illinois and elsewhere are stepping up, leading the way to protect privacy and ensure that healthcare access and other exercise of our rights remain safe from invasive surveillance."<a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/privacy-map-how-states-are-fighting-location-surveillance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/privacy-map-how-states-are-fighting-location-surveillance</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Surveillance</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LocationData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LocationData</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LocationTracking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LocationTracking</a>

SwitchedToLinuxThis week in the Weekly News Roundup, a location service went rouge, phones come with pre-installed malware, and AI is scraping through bandwidth.

Keep Data Private<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/LocationTracking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LocationTracking</a> is everywhere - often on by default. Your phone logs your movements, & apps sell this data. Ask yourself: Do I want my grocery trips, doctor visits, or late-night walks mapped & monetized? Disable location history, limit app access, & consider using a burner device when privacy is crucial.
